VERY close Alan! Congrats - now you are sooo close, you just know you can do it in a race (and potentially in training by holding the 2nd and third splits).

I was at 7:05.8 in training when I truly believed I could do it in a race (and got my 6:58.4) - been no where near it since mind you!!

There is a great 4 way battle between 16th (yours truly), 17th, 18th, and 19th to be the next millionaire

I thought I heard the thud of a gauntlet landing at my feet there Stan [-o<

Good work on hanging in there Plummy =D> =D> What about your blisters, you always have blisters :fsbgrin: Two sore spots. One on each middle finger just under the firts knuckle - no blisters!! :D I did have gloves on and one plaster (lasted about 15-16k before sweat caused it to slip off) Legs are ...

Light years from Nick's achievements but managed a season's best at the HM (I'd have been quite content with just finishing it as the last 6km was an absolute b*tch and REALLY hard not to handle down). Was 1:26:46.0, now 1:26:18.4 Really hard work after the hour point but got there so happy with the...

Paul, this is your Uncle Alan-for goodness sake have a rest- it will give me time to post a few Nonathlon points A couple of day's rest and you'll be tearing that chain to bits :twisted: Listen to your uncle Alan - he speaks wise words. I missed a row last night through circumstances rather than ch...

Had a seasons best worht mentioning - my first 17kmk+ hour for quite a while.

Brilliant - laughed my nuts off!!

I just noticed a couple of names that appear on the CTC NOT as Free Spirits yet they have metres logged on the C2 website (University/Club Standings) as Free Spirits therefore appearing on our league table???... Allan Moltmaker (took part in our relay also) is down as Sub 7 Marco Raspa is down as E....

This was to be a rest day as I RARELY if ever row 5 days on the trot (plus it's too damned hot) - however Mrs Plummy being absent from the house caused an urge to rear it's ugly head to have another go at the CTC. Last attempt in parenthesis 1 ) 1:45.8 ( 1:49.0 ) 2 ) 1:45.6 ( 1:48.6 ) 3 ) 1:44.0 ( 1...

I like a nice round number myself! Congrats on the 3MM Webberg =D> =D> =D>

Just think, only 7MM more and you'll be up with Stan. Bob Noble would rattle that off in a few weeks (it may take a mere mortals a bit longer though)

Plummy

Magnificent work Stan on reaching 10MM =D> =D> =D> =D>

Especially considering the short length of time it has taken you

Please feel free to take a small holiday as a reward.

Regards
Plummy

Well done Woj on the PB - that's a VERY good distance for 30 mins =D> =D> =D>

Well done everyone else without aircon for just getting through it - today is just too hot for erging (us Brits just aren't used to anything above 20 deg C)

Plummy

Well done Kirbs on that first million - seems to have come round quick this season!

Plummy

Still plodding along with a weekly Pete Plan session until I feel strong enough to take it on more fully nearer BIRC - (to see if I'm going to embarrass myself or not). Went for 5 x 1500 again as I "quite" like this one. Last month's effort is in parenthesese 1) 5:42.3 / 1:54.1 split (1:55...

The shorts have arrived today! I've not tried them on yet as it's too hot and sticky and they look a little "snug". I think Mrs Plummy may need a private viewing first to decide their suitability for public showings

Plummy

Welcome Phil J - good to have you with us. Feel free to dig out the "A place to introduce your self" thread and tell us bit more. (I notice you are in Grimsby - a bunch of FS'rs will be up there in Sept taking part in a mile race. I may be a good opportunity to put a face to a new name) Pl...

Sympathies Thomas for getting the potential points/fine. I don't want to start a debate about the rights and wrongs of speeding but I still think getting nabbed doing 36 in a 30 zone is no more than a money grabbing rip off of the already massively beleagured driving population (who ship in £35bn to...

Are you saying my wife is a nag in bed????

Plummy

First a tee-shirt and NOW a pair of shorts!!

As part of the Row to Beijing challenge, I was picked as the random winner at the Poznan stop in Poland.

Hope they're not too snug

Nice work Michelle - it's amazing how your confidence gets boosted by an improvement of a few seconds here and a few metres there =D>

Did anybody notice my new pb´s on 500m and 100m :lol: Congratulate Grobby =D> I noticed Mikkel but there's just sooo many you are producing it's sometimes difficult to respond to all of them Well done Grobby also - lovely 6k (&5k). No problem with counting the first 5k of a 6k row, as long as i...

Small claim as it's been very quiet on the achievement front here...

7:16.2 for 2km (previous and only attempt was 7:29.1)

Some nice Nonathlon points. Definitely a little bit more in the tank but taking it VERY steady on sprints. I think sub 7:10 is a way off yet

It is interesting re the mental demons. If I set out with the clock at 60 minutes, I almost invariably handle down at 35-45 minutes now, whereas if I go for "Just Row", I can keep going to and through the hour mark. I never thought of 3 x 20 minutes and no rest - I may try that - great sug...
