My arrival time is based on train times, in theory 12:49 Virgin Trains at Manchester Piccadilly, so probably 3/4 hour from there by the metro tram thingy and then a bit of a walk? Happy to do a 5k row if that fits best with plans of others. I'd aim for time close to PB in my siggy. But we know how P...

If I replied with what I really think about that idea I would earn myself a ban from this forum

Seeing as I got unceremoniously tipped out of Boat IV, I had to try and reclaim my spot. Somehow I've grabbed the front seat in FS IV again, but I'm sure someone will change that for me. Managed 5164m ave 01:56.1 @26spm (was 5116 a couple of days ago). 2min 516m 146 HR 4min 1044m 159 HR (that's alre...

Yay five boats now afloat. 2 more peeps get's us a sixth. Meanwhile with all the effort being put in, I had to give it another go. Now 5116 (was 5016): 2 mins 511m 25spm 01:57.4/500 4 mins 1030m 25spm 01:56.5/500 6 mins 1536m 26spm 01:57.1/500 8 mins 2041m 26spm 01:57.5/500 Not sure I want to do thi...

I’ll make some triple chocolate, chocolate brownies and 2 French apple tarts - if this sounds too much, or if Janet would like me to make something else, then shout. I'll wave goodbye to my weight loss regime then =P~ Jan, once upon a time, I used to make jam doughnuts, chocolate eclairs, vanilla s...

Some nice times posted.

Looks like we need a lady so we can get the fourth boat floated. We seem to be well down on numbers compared to last month

Nice effort, but I hope not [-o<

Golf? Someone has the wrong priorities

Shame that Jane won't be there

May I not volunteer for kitchen duties. I only know how to speedial #1 or wait for it to go Ping!

Good benchmark times which will give you great targets to attack next season. I think we can all see who will be the Meta Nonathlon leader

Trever. Well done, and feel free to take a break for the rest of the season

Had to try for another PB today, in the hope I might grab 2nd place in the MetaNonathlon thingy , but will I have done enough :fsgrin: 6k in 24:08.5 ave 2:00.7/500 "was 24:26.2 ave 2.02.1 set in June 2015). Splits: 1000m 26spm 145Hr 02:00.9/500 2000m 26spm 147Hr 02:00.5/500 3000m 26spm 153Hr 02...

We did an easy HM together yesterday then he went home and looks like he added another Marathon on his own well worn new machine =D> Corrected for you :fsgrin: By the way I wish I could do 1:51 for the CTC in an unfit state :shock: ^O^ I wish I could do 1:51 for the CTC in a fit state :shock: ^O^

Happy Birthday Jill. I wonder if your present will be a return of missing pink stars.

Looks Like Felton's rowed off into the sunset with the medal, but that second spot is a close thing .....

With 10 days to go, Free Spirits seems to be solidly in third place having surpassed 15 million meters with 125 of us recording a paddle or two. There are some serious distances being logged. 4 have logged well over half a million meters each ^O^ and we have over 20 rowers recording over 200,000 met...

Been a while since this thread had an update. Will there be any last jostling for position as the season draws to a close?

I'll claim another PB. Didn't have a lot of time, but needed to get a row in this morning before work as I won't get a change for much over the next 2-3 days. So thought I'd put my back into a 30minute. Added 34m to my distance from last September to achieve 7307m ave 2:03.1/500. Not a big improveme...

Did I mention that the possible new recruit would have been called Jacques Cousteau ... :?: :fsbgrin: :fswink: That might have been an interesting twist to add underwater skulduggery into the mix, you could even have had a rubber fetish with all those nice wetsuits for good measure. :shock: Better ...

I didn't think that through did I.

For fear of becoming the latest scapegoat in this sorry saga would an extra 10k for the World Erg challenge would serve as a suitable sacrifice? [-o<

I know that this is supposedly a ladies thread, and blokes shouldn't intervene but .....

Can I have some of whatever Jill is on - or perhaps I'm better off without it

Thanks for the in-depth psychiatric analysis of weight loss :fssmile: Ever since my 20s I've gradually added weight, A slow process at first then the real beer gut showed itself by my 40s, and it's been downhill from there. Never a sporty, active person, sitting in front of the TV is my default. I'm...

There is a thread elsewhere on here which discusses the various pros and cons of the PM5. It's good but has it's issues. Make sure it has the current firmware. A gym may not update. I use an 8GB virbatim USB2 which seems OK, most of the time, but corrupts occasionally and that isn't due to battery. ...

If it is a form of rowing then I don't see a problem, but I don't understand the difference the different kit might make. But surely the skierg is a different movement entirely and thus has completely different strengths and weaknesses so should be excluded from a rowing movement based activity?

The PMs do like to shut down after any inactivity. You probably get about 60s but pressing a button (display options are best) keeps it alive. Enough for a stretch, water break, but not if you need to run to the loo. It would be nice if Concept could let you change the default. USB get the right one...

Congrats on the weight loss. Impressive. All the hours and meters you are putting in is clearly showing results, and to do a HM and now a FM shows how much your stamina is improving. Don't worry about the times, the distances are the real achievement, and if you think about it you get much more of a...
