Oh wow!! What an achievement .

That is so totally amazing. I'm sat here just shaking my head from side to side going "Whoa!!"

Well done, so very, very well done!

I went inactive for a few months; ill-health collared me and it's such a roller-coaster of a ride, and so exhausting just about everything seemed like too much to manage for a while. I couldn't even face posting. But I'm back, albeit slowly crawling along, and I'm so grateful I wasn't kicked out for...

Was a bit worried that I'd need a colostomy (which I've never much fancied the idea of) but bless him the consultant managed to "stretch" my innards to re-join the ends and avoid that. We had thought that would be impossible because he said he did that last time too! Does mean there are di...

It's good to be back

Got a bit poorly for a while there, but I'm good to go now. Having to build up a bit slowly, but it's getting easier.

I see it's the summer solstice challenge in about four weeks.... wondering if I'll be able to turn in a full marathon by then

As you know, when you enter them in your log book, there's a drop down thingy under "Type" and you choose indoor or otw. Maybe ours picked up our indoor rower figures but not the total figures that include the OTW metres?

I thought OTW metres don't count on our metre board, just on the C2 honour boards ? Maybe that's what's happened and all the OTW metres have been added in all in one go? That would make sense.

Apologies to Hans Van Dijk who I called Henri! And I got his metres wrong .... it was early though, and I was only on the first coffee of the day.

Those are some massive totals got posted =D>

Well y'know Paul, I'm always pretty relieved when I stay the same. It could so very easily be a gain. Given that you were on holiday, I think staying the same was a fantastic result. Now - erg like a loony for the Holiday Challenge so that you can eat the goodies! I stayed the same - hoping for a lo...

Whoa - congrats to Henri Van Dijk who pulled 217,230m yesterday and overtook me. And just when I thought I'd got past him and was safe . Guess I'm gonna have to make a bit of an effort for the next few weeks!

Gosh that seems like a huge total!! Well done =D> =D>

Sorry about your gain Paul - but better luck next week, eh? I went down - to 77.8kg - so I lost 1kg since last week :D. I have no idea why - I didn't quite stop eating the chocolate. I have been very, very careful about everything else I ate though. And I am keeping up with the metre munching - mayb...

Yay - that's me just gone past 3 million

It's an individual challenge I think, and if you've got a C2 logbook you just enter metres in the normal way and they clock up for you.

Concept US site Holiday Challenge details say you have to make sure your full address is entered under your profile tab on your C2 log, otherwise they can't send a pin because they won't have an address to send it . Makes sense now I come to think about it!

Cheers Plummy!

Do we get pins too, or is it just the US?

Not that it matters - I'll be rowing anyway. Do we need to sign up or anything, or just carry on logging metres as normal?

Oh well done on any loss - that's great =D> I didn't lose this week, but at least I didn't gain either. I think for me it's going to be a case of changing my eating habits - I'm rowing over 100k a week every week; and although I'm putting more welly in now it doesn't seem to have made much diference...

Metallica will be playing the WHOLE of the Black ALbum to celebrate it's 21st birthday . AND will perform three previously unplayed-live songs!

AND - Black Sabbath will be there - with Ozzy, as second headline act.

Gonna be a good one this year

Absolutely brilliant - so very well done!

Well done Iain! That's an incredible effort! =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D>

Row strong! And don't forget we're all here, willing you on all the way!

My ex-boss is 79 now and has had both knees done. It was like watching him step back 20 years! He credited his very fast recoveries to doing the exercises properly and thoroughly. My mum in law had one of hers done last year and said the said thing. (Bill - my first surgery I came round in ICU and t...

Good luck! Don't forget your memory foam pad Plummy - mine is an absolute bum-saver

Owing to a slight mishap with some giant cookies (see weight loss thread ), I ended up doing a 50k yesterday. Very temporarily, I have gone up a place! Won't last, but it's good for the time being.

I think we must have been separated at birth. :P :lol: Well, I stayed the same. Whilst I'm not delighted I am relieved. But tell you what, if it takes 50k to work off four cookies I'm damned if I'm eating any more of the things! I shall stay away from the baked goods aisle and if anyone else in the...
