Hi Stan well done on the weight loss and a planned return to the erg. I hope all goes well. I am rowing steadily but not as much as I was in NZ when I joined the club with my son in law Tom Houghton.
Anyway good luck mate.
Best wishes
Chris

Re: Meter board banter
Well done on your unrelenting climb up the metre board, Paul. My own ascent is slowing and will stop for a couple of days once the Military Challenge ends on the 28th February. Although I may try to stay in the top 100 for the end of the season. Keep going, it will be interesting to see where you en...

Re: Meter board banter
I too have resurrected my machine from under a dusty trove of stuff. I've set a goal of at least on more asterisk on the Lifetime Millionaires board, though it's unlikely to be this season. Meanwhile, I feel great that I'm almost competitive with the ceramic cat on the windowsill, and both of us ar...

Thanks for Heads up on the Wahoo Tikr HRM. I bought one on Amazon and was able use it the next. Very good so far and cheaper than the two offered by Conceot2.
So I am happily plugging away at the VTC knowing my heart is beating away.
