Agreed Paul, well done Nick & Kate

Just the one slot left now ...

Wow, great time JG.
A little more perspective... I'm nearly 6'4", over 14st, and I currently can't do ONE 500 at your average for 8
Who knows where you can go with your current "new" training regime, just keep at it

Woj, I'm half thinking of entering, a car share from Brum might help tip the scales

OK, I've signed up to defend my Free Spirits title (although I'll have more than 1 eye on the fizzy pop league this year )
Just need the league code, if there is one.

Hi Woj, honest enough question. For previous events we have recorded our meters on the actual 30 minute section of the main relay page, directly under our name. I'm assuming it's the same this time. (although, just checking the page, maybe not!). Thomas or JL, can you help? Will the sign up page jus...

Well done Woj

Hey Nick, you sure you can't get Kate to cruise an hour

Team, the relay starts TODAY :fsgrin: We have the following 9 x 30 minute slots left (all times in GMT/UTC) FRI - 07:30 & 23:00 SAT - 01:30, 03:30, 04:00, 12:30 SUN - 01:30, 04:00, 12:30 For the early slots on Sat & Sun we could do with our folks in Oz & NZ. I notice Bartman has not take...

Kirby, Congratulations on the 5MM =D> . C2 will send you a long sleeve shirt as a reward. Personally, I think Strider should send you a poster of the picture/avatar he has next to his name. Yeah, did we ever find out who that is? (not an earlier picture of the lovely Sharon Davies is it?) Oh, and w...

Congratulations Anne, that's no mean feat. =D>
Sounds like a great day too (apart from the fall, hope the back recovers).

Yep great weekend's golf. The best man definitely won (although I'm English I'm glad Poulter didn't win too Paul!) Pity Norman couldn't follow it through, would have been one hell of a story. Also a pity Birkdale charge so much to play. I'd love to play it but at something like £200 a round I think ...

Nice rowing Paul & Dave, good to see the curve is on the up again from you two.

The restaurant is where we went last year, which was fine though very busy. I liked it but wonder if our Birmingham locals might have other suggestions? This would depend on the requirements of course. Italian suits most, as it covers the de-rigour pre-race meal, pasta. It's central. Quite a few ha...

I would 100% totally agree with you Paul, what a farce. No drugs cheat should ever be able to ply their trade again.

I can't believe there's even discussion about it, but there is - and more.

It's a very black & white subject I think, no middle ground.

(PS. check your PMs)

Great efforts from Zaphod & Strider there.
Especially YOU Alan ( =D> )
Thanks for giving me something to aim for both

Phillip,
I think that's one of the best age/weight adjusted sessions I've ever seen.
Hat doffed in your Antipedian direction =D> =D>

Fantastic time Mikkel
Your %age improvement is stunning.

Kirby

Great news Kirby I've PM'd you, we'll sort something out.

kirbyt wrote:Beauty, Seb. Loved your commentary. Especially about being an upstart Free Spirit. Breaking the magical 5 minute barrier is truly heroic.

Hear, hear ...

Congrats to all sounds like a great day, as always.
Thanks for the reports.

Nice one Bill, how often people's eyes glaze over when we start talking about "you get out what you put in...".
Wonderful to see it spelt out like that!

Fantastic achievement, hearty congratulations. =D>

Have a great day all, you'll love it
Looking forward to the write ups already.

Agreed Spike, that's an excellent result Michelle. With possibly more there?? Afraid I went the other way. Started at 1:39.x for the first 4 reps, then struggled from there. Finished with an average of 1:40.9. The last 4 reps were so uncomfortable it's put me off having another go, however Petr has ...

It just wouldn't be the same if Thomas wasn't doubting himself before a race, he does it every time. Normal race prep for him (eh Thomas?).
I'm glad he's doing it this time, means he'll exceed expectations as normal.
Remember the 40 B4 40 Thomas, you can and do achieve great things!

Still something to be very proud of Alan, and very competetive times too.
Well done =D> =D> =D>

Blimey, excellent achievement Dave. =D> =D>
