John & Rob If you're coming up to Dublin on Saturday, you're both welcome to use my erg. It could do with a good workout right now. :) I was back with my GP today and my pneumonia has not cleared up fully, so I'm on a second course of antibiotics and strict instructions to take things easy. I ho...

It's a tough time JR and our thoughts are with you.

Jennifer and I have been through it with both sets of parents and we know how draining it can be.

I've no confirmation either. Although in my case, that's pretty irrelevant as I won't be competing in any event.

I was in hospital last Sunday and have spent the last week in bed with pneumonia. In the circumstances, my weight is largely irrelevant, but for what it's worth, it fell slightly over the last two weeks. Not sure when I'll be back on the erg, but I'm planning to return to work tomorrow. Paul V Date_...

Hi Rob and John

I'm still feeling pretty shattered with this bl**dy pneumonia and I definitely won't be competing on Sunday week. However, I will try to make it along to provide support to you both.

Rob, have you been allocated a time yet?

Thanks everyone for the good wishes. Feeling a bit better today and have allowed myself on the internet for a few minutes. Spoke to my GP and he confirmed that I need full rest for a week and very gradual return to exercise after that, so I will take everyone's advice and not rush things. John, plea...

I was going to row yesterday, but developed a pain in my chest and started to have difficuly breathing. It got so bad, I was afraid I might be having a heart attack, so I wen...

Hi John I sent off my entry form today. I'm still not sure I'll compete, but I'm flying out to Portugal for a few days and will try to get back into a routine of training each day. I had another go at CTC today and I'm still way off pace, although I improved slightly to 7:22.8. I figure I'll be luck...

I've been totally out of sorts lately and didn't row all week.

I decided to give this a go, just to see how much off the pace I am. I struggled home in 7:27.2, but at least I've now got something to shoot at.

After a near week of inactivity, I crawled back onto the erg yesterday and did around 11k over four slow sessions. Today I decided to do a HM at steady pace and just about managed to get under 90 minutes. Feeling a bit wrecked now. I only recorded the first k or so yesterday, so it looks like I did ...

Another week where I struggled with my training and another late Saturday night. Weight back down a bit this week, but may be more due to dehydration after last night's exploits than anything else. :roll: Paul V Date_________Mass (KG)_______Weekly change_______Total change 20/08/07______110.1 26/08/...

Petr - you should definitely post it.

At 2 years 5 months, I presume he's a lightweight and we always needs LWTs to fill boats.

Fantastic effort. I think you have a future champion on your hands.

Disaster strikes. Another bad week, finishing with a major blow out on Saturday night. I approached the scales this morning with some trepidation and I'm afraid I was right to be worried. I've put back on most of the weight I lost over the past 8 weeks. :evil: Back to the drawing board. :( Paul V Da...
