Hi Stan, great to hear you're going to take the old metal mistress out. Look forward to seeing your exploits old friend ☺

41h 03 mins for me so far seems longer somehow.

Well done Mike and Iain keep it up we need the metres !

Totally agree with Mike, you are both amazing and stark staring mad .

All the best with the final training for this fantastic adventure ☺!

Mike,

Is Crazy Bear a HM every day ?

If so I don't think my old body could take it .

The only way I can do my current craziness is by splitting the pieces into 5ks, 4ks or 8ks with plenty of rest in between.

Thanks for the offer though ☺.

Good news Philip !

Thanks Iain and Mike, I've actually got a blister on my left hand now to complement the callouses. As I am well padded in the posterior no need for seat pads !

Sorry to hear that Chris, hope you're back as good as new soon we miss your metres !

I've just made the Long haul-31hrs 08 mins.

Hands are feeling it as I can't get on with rowing gloves !

Hi Iain,
It's easier for us retired folk as we have more time than people that are still working. Thanks for the compliment though !

We need a Joi Bear and Paul Roberts to do his stuff like in the Fall Challenge when he was a monster !!

Also on long haul 2/3 of the way there.

Mike,

It's easier for me as I'm retired so can happily spend 4 hours in a nice warm gym listening to some banging sounds and rowing VERY slowly 🤣 .

At our present rate it'll take me well over a week to catch you-well done on the series of back to back HMs it's been 16 years since I managed 1:22 ...

Very impressive Iain if a little unnerving!!

Well rowed Dave

Thanks Jon for your great work !

Thanks Jon much appreciated!

Well done on your 500m SB Dave, more to come I suspect !!

Very well done Iain on your 24MM !

Great news Carole that's a wonderful Christmas present ☺!

Well done on taking a significant chunk off your 10k Seasons's Best Iain !

!

That Pepe is really a great wit
Who uses the to erg to keep fit
His times outstrip those
Who challenge his rows
Which upsets them more than a bit ☺!

I'll second that Mike !! Come on young Philip !

Thank you young man. I still remember the very first Madchester meeting and your hard work setting it up

Hi Dave,

May I have a star for going past 26MM please ?

Well done Kay on your 38 MM .
