First ever attempt at 10 x 250!! (In fact - first attempt at 10 x anything :shock: ) Sorry Gooner - bumped you down to FS2, but don't worry Bangers always comes along and rains on my parade. Quite enjoyed that really, it makes a change for the pain to be so short lived - as Jessica Red says "it...

I kinda agree with Gooner here - but here's a suggested twist: why don't we add all our metres to Team Canada?? That'll really take the shine off their "win" and we will also be "the winners" as well as making the metre total is so silly (first vs second) that a virtual team comp...

Although already reported on the EIRC thread I suppose I should plonk my new 2000m PB of 7:14.4 (4.1 second improvement) in this arena also.

Some nice Nonathlon points aswell

Well done to all those above me on this thread with new PB's - I can see 2007 is going to be strewn with them :D

Paul,
Shell pm'd me with a good luck wish for Sunday and apologised that she couldn't make it as she was off skiing for a week - as of about now!

Suspect she won't be putting any more metres in Jan for FS :cry:

I don't know - these part timers :wink:

EIRC

Against my better judgement, I've entered the EIRC (Mens 40+ LWT) and GUESS WHAT - it's the first damned race at 9.30 :x :x Normally at 9.30 on a Sunday I'd just about be having my weetiepops at that time - maybe. Ah well, I suppose I could look at it from a "get it out of the way" stylee....

Paul, The Sunnto chest belt heart rate monitor supplied with the Model E transmits up to a few metres and is picked up automatically by the PM4. It shows your real time heart rate on the screen whilst you row and after your row it will display your heart rate on the PM4 against the splits you set (o...

I recently added my wife and it only took a couple of hours for her to appear on the table but I did have to pm JLemon with an e-mail address to get her metres added to the current challenge.

Hi Paul, I bought a Model E last November-ish after using a model C exclusively for 3 years. Initially I thought I'd made a mistake as all my times went backwards but within a couple of weeks I was on a par again and have since moved onwards and upwards. Oddly enough until two days ago I'd never use...

Why is it that no matter what time of day it is or what direction you are travelling - the sun always seems to be able to shine right in your eyes in the gap between the 2 sun visors in your car??

Jessica - not sad really. I've booked a cruise on a bloody great ship that has a "fully stocked gym" - EXCEPT for any ergs and I'm quite disappointed. Apparently they are not stable enough with the undulations (nice word) of the sea.. but they DO have running machines :?: :?: It would seem...

Got my wife to join our happy team - only the 3rd time she's ever sat on the rower and only about the 4th time she's "done excercise" specifically - although she would argue that looking after up to 8 kids is hard enough anyway (she's a childminder). The metre count won't be great but unde...

New PB of 7674m for 30 mins this evening (previously 7625). Big fat 5 points on the Nonathlon but first PB of 2007 :) :)

I'm finally beginning to get to grips with this Model E - NOW IF ONLY I COULD GET 15K IN 60 MINS I'D BE REALLY HAPPY! :x
