Me and my big mouth :lol: Good luck Gregor - I expect to see your 10k below 40 mins, the 1 hour at 14700, and the HM at sub 1h 30 Don't encourage him! I am trying to stay ahead as his penance for getting me involved! Ok I will encourage you too :twisted: Looking at your times compared to mine, its ...

Sorry Gregor - cant bring myself to support a team that has the support of a Scotsman

Looking at your times compared to mine, you really should obliterating your 10k, 1 hour, and HM times :) . I feel I should be able to reduce my 5k and 2k times. Go for it Gregor - you know you want to :lol: I hear what you are saying Stan. I think its because previously I've been focusing too much ...

I only work out at the gym. Would love my own model D though - time to start saving I think.

"From me to you" <sigh> :? :( Looking at your PBs I reckon you could annihilate your 10km time now too. :wink: Funnily enough I was thinking the same today. :) Looking at your times compared to mine, you really should obliterating your 10k, 1 hour, and HM times :) . I feel I should be abl...

I got one by accident the other night at the gym - have been getting bored rowing lately, so have been mixing it up by rowing hard as possible for a minute, then cruising for a minute, and so on. Have landed a couple of PB's doing that sort of thing, but this one came by accident, so knocked 4 odd ...

It is now - you just invented it

Hi Thomas
Paul is on holiday in the 2nd half of July so he wanted to get it finished before his holiday

I seem to be having a good week. Another pb - this time at 10k, knocking 8.1 seconds off.

I was looking at last years ranking and the ironoarsman had over 231 members - so you are right this lead we have is not all that secure. Dont see the point in holding back metres though - Paul is right lets be honest

Inspirational Paul - bad enough doing 250k in 1 month is hard enough but doing it in 2 weeks is quite an achievement. I am currently on 69kfor the month so got a lot to do but more or less on schedule.

Thanks for the comments on the blue riband. My main reason for posting it was to encourage myself - its my weakest distance and I really want to improve it. I must admit I had the same thoughts about the 250k favouring short to middle distance rowers but I think John is right - nobody is going to do...

Thomas, Gooner, and anyone else interested. My profile no is 157061.

Did the sprinty bits of the one for Mr Sims challenge today and managed to take about 4 seconds off my 2k pb. I feel thats a soft pb for me though - I seriously under achieve at that distance

Hi Gooner, glad to see you got on here.
What am I talking about that you dont understand? I havent been involved in Thomas and JLemons techie discussion as its beyond me.

Ahh
Many apologies - hadnt realised there had been a suggestion to not post challenges so I just posted blue riband II, to finish end of August. Not sure how to remove it but Chris seems to be suggesting it can be so I will try if asked to do so. Once again sorry everyone.

I like it

Happy to contribute financially to this Thomas. I do not have a paypal account - how much hassle is it to set one up?

jlemon - excellent work - thanks for doing this

Hi Gregor. Welcome back from your fruitless trip to Germany and many congratulations on the new pb - I am sure seeing me in front of you was like a red rag to a bull and I therefore claim full credit for your great performance :lol: . Yep I got a pb for the 30 mins yesterday (7409). I think I can go...

Hi Paul
Did you do the 30ks in one row or 2 separate ones. How did it feel?

Currently on 54513 for the 250k challenge

Just completed the 1 hour part of 1 for Mr Sims. Pretty happy with 14513 which is the 2nd best I have ever done. So combined with yesterdays 30 minute pb I have got off to a good start in this challenge. All goes the 250k challenge as well of course.

Just thought I would start one for us to chat about the ELM. Probably turn into the hate the slug and hate the Paul thread
Aiming to do an hour tonight to contribute to the one for Mr Sims. Will let you know how I get on

Stan

I have all my data from the concept2 website since I joined (Feb 05). I believe it is in Excel spreadsheet format. More than happy to send it to you if you are interested.
Though not sure you would want to emulate my times!
Regards
Stan

Great effort from Robert in the CTC today.
Well done to everyone else for posting distances too.
