I have just started a list on the main forum of who is coming and doing which race. That might hopefully convince some of those who haven't decided yet to come. And to have an overview of which Free Spirit is coming I think it's useful for us too.

Peter Weiss - MHWT - 40-49

Hi everybody, next update after friday's nuclear spin tomography: knee is basically ok, some spots of enlarged bursae which causedthe pain and are caused by overload, no need for surgery or injection. Advise was given to vary training, not to overdo training and listen to your body. So I will start ...

Good luck for your 24 hours guys!

Sorry for being lazy on the forum, but I'd like to take the opportunity to give you an update re my knee. I had it x-rayed last monday and it seems that the cartilage and the ligaments are ok. Nevertheless there is some irritation under and around the patella. To get full knowledge of the situation ...

Excellent hour of power Christine, well done! =D> =D> Seems like that chocolate and wine are working as a secret power diet?

Thank you guys for your wishes! Maybe you could find a skierg Peter. Hope the injury recovers soon. Stan, I haven't found a skieerg so far. I hope giving my knee a rest and occasional light cycling (to and from work, 20 minutes each direction) will help Rest up good and proper and then we can see wh...

Mat, take it easy with that hurt rib. I know it's easier said than done. Once you are used to regular sports it's soooo hard to force yourself to have a break :( No rowing for me the next couple of days if not weeks. I hurt my left knee when I fell four weeks ago stepping on a wet uneven metal plate...

Very well done Christine, you are flying at the moment! =D> =D> Looking forward to your 30' and 60' reports

Now that's what I call a real rusty-nail-in-your-head-performance! Very well done guys, congratulations! =D> =D>

Bill, very impressive 1k PB, well done! =D> =D> Please tell me what you had for breakfast that day... :D Christine, well done on your 30' PB! =D> =D> Those unexpected PBs are the sweetest ones, but I wonder what you can do in an intended PB trial? Stan, very nice FM PB! =D> =D> And an excellent writ...

Must have been a really enjoyable weekend :D Thank you Bill, Stan and Paul for your writeups! Roger, congratulations on a faboulous World Record, very well done! =D> =D> =D> Stan, I'm really happy to read of your new PB, great that all your training has paid off =D> =D> The irona**e is back, well do...

In Germany it's compulsory to have a motor liability insurance which covers damage you cause third parties.

Welcome to the crowd!

Passed the 2 MM for the season tonight

Good luck and a great time to all Free Spirits competing in Paignton

Exactly!

Mat, not a little PB imho but a really large one! 3.3 seconds for the 2k is a remarkable performance! =D> =D>

I know what you mean. Have a look at my PBs

... do people crash my car without letting me know it?

There are insurance companies to deal with that, no need for hit and run

Eric, that was a storming performance, well done! =D> =D> I hope you enjoyed that "Peter style" pacing :D FastSi, :fswink: 29 seconds off for the 5k is massive! You really should have a go at the 2k. Take it as long as it's there :fswink: Our times are so similar I think we should be train...

Well done Neil! =D> You're like a freight train on the meter board currently

Laurence,

I'm very happy to read about your new job and a new positive perspective for you and your familiy.

I hope you will soon like it as much as a new HM PB

I think that you'd go even faster with slightly more even split. Thought about Lee's statement and had a second go at the HM today. Plan was to start faster than friday, hope that the point of pain will come late and than empty the tanks. This is how it went (friday's splits in parenthesis): 2000__...

Big congrats Trish, very impressive way to create demand for easter chocolate eggs I think when Bill's visits became more reluctant he wasn't watching the GP but was looking for some easter eggs as a reward for you.

Spider, well done on holding it together in what seems to have been a very tough session! Looks like this thread is going thro one of its quiet periods again!! For my part I'm having a break in the PP and am concentrating on some meter munching for the WRC. R1 - 1.44.9/33spm R2 - 1.44.9/32spm R3 - 1...

Thank you for your encouragement guys! :fswink: Neil, I had a look at our PB cabinets. It's amazing how closely we are matched. I didn't know your HM PB before starting myattempt, i promise :fswink: Lee, you're right, I could have gone faster with a more even pacing. My problem was I wasn't sure abo...
