Re: Web site renewal
Thomas, a big thank you for all your efforts over past years in keeping the FS web sites running. Like you I haven't rowed much during the last couple of years, my absence being due to a hip flexor problems.

Re: Crash B's 2012
Peter thanks for the pm, and my apologies for not responding before but I have been rather knocked sideways by a recent family bereavement. Also yesterday I came very close to cancelling this trip as I felt really unwell with (man 'flu) and a bad sore throat. Today I feel better but not training, in...

Re: Farnborough 5k 14th may
After a (very) painful marathon experience at Paignton I didn't think I would be able to row at Farnborough.
However, after a couple of weeks and liberal amounts of Ibuprofen applied to the Glutes, things are settling down.
I'm now look forward to the day and meeting you all there.

Re: RP C2 challenge 2.5k

Re: Roger Bangay World Record Holder
Once again, thank you for the kind words from my fellow FS’s. After Saturdays marathon result I like others might ask, ‘Where did that come from?’ I think some of the answer lies in the temperature.
