Vegan Rowing Table

[SpugFab]

There's been a bit of talk about this recently so I thought I'd kick it off.

Don't think it requires much in the way of rules, doesn't matter what damper setting you use. Just get on and row

I'm in.

1000m - 3.48
2000m - 7.40

All on a Concept 2.

Excellent, suddenly the table looks a bit more populated

If anyone wants to try a distance that isn't on the table feel free (maybe a mile or a 10k).

I'm heading to the gym at lunchtime, i'll try to get times for the 500m, 1k and maybe 2k.

Did a 500m (not balls->wall, but pretty tough) and a 2k, but bailed on the 1k and hit the sauna instead

Tried to up the drag factor on the 500m, bumped it up to 170. Next time I'll lower it a bit, not sure what the best way to nail a 500m effort it.

[SpugFab]

d'oh - hit "quote" instead of "edit"

[benzilla]

I'm usually doing about 1500m in 6 minutes. I'll have to note some times!

That's pretty close to a mile. If that's roughly the distance you want to do for your workouts how about doing the mile and I'll stick an entry for it up on the table?

doesn't everyone need to use the same drag factor? When I was part of the rowing club standard used to be 140. Will get data for this soon when I get back to gym.

I think my PB is 7.58 for the 2000 meters. And no, it's not my favourite event when it comes to rowing.

But it's a compulsory if you want to compete on water. what I lack in speed I make up for in social skills...

I think clubs might mandate a drag factor, but for a bit of fun on a website I think it'd be going a bit far AFAIK to post record times on the C2 site you can use whatever drag factor setting you like. I was told 130 was a good bet so I've been going with that.

ida - I'll stick your PB up, if you want a different distance just ask

[ralst]

I knew if I waited long enough to start this, someone else would do it for me

Best times so far:

500 M in 1:40.9
2000 M in 8:25.3

[benzilla]

Ok! Here are my first times from my warm up tonight.

500m 1:45m
1000m 3:45m

Thanks Spug.

Hi

I use the Concept 2 in the winter months.

My best, last month;

2000m - 6.56

Damn near killed me !

[Dave Noisy]

I assume rowing machines are cool?

I've never gone all-out, but i've averaged about 1'50 500m's over 1km, so you can put me in at 3'40, Concept2 as well. Maybe will give this a serious go next winter. ;)

And yeah, rowing *devastates* my body. Even rowing 'easy' hurts.

[_Andreas_]

sorry for the delay.
