Well done duffyoz. CTC is a participation thing so don't worry about the time. I'm not. My first row for weeks and I managed to get within a minute of my PB :)

After my "cracking" start I feel quite "bad" today. Maybe I'm sick :!: :?: I'm surely weaker this evening and have felt weak since friday morning. :(

Hope you feel better soon Mikkel!

After missing my first CTC since Sept 2006 in June, I also missed July and Aug :oops: :oops: :oops:
So, a simple 1k looked like something I should be able to do without too much trouble.
Another seat filled (3:23.1) this morning. Still coughing!
Come on Thomas, you are way better than me at sprinting :)
I hope I can keep it up.

After my transportation this morning (5:30 - 6:00) I did 1000m wu in 5:12.6 but I realized that I had used too much power on the bike and had to hd at the CTC (750m in) :oops: :cry: (page was @1:34.1) So after that I did 5K in @ 1:57.5 (19:35)

After work I felt okay and did another attempt and guess what! :lol: :lol: :lol: 8)

I'm on a long weekend away at present, so I'll have to wait until I get home tomorrow to deliver an appropriate rebuff. :twisted:

First proper go today.

1000, 3:32.7 @ 1:46.3, 33spm

Seasons best by 2.2s and beat last seasons best as well :D May have another go before months end to try and get 3:30, but I also need to do a 4 minutes for the challenge series.

Missed the last 2 ctc's due to being away so I'm glad to be back contributing.

Never done a 1k sprint before but based on my 2k pb was hoping for around 3:30ish so very pleased with a time of 3:31.9 :D Extreme Leg burn for the last 150 though! :evil:

I hadn't done anything over 20 spm for months, so it was a strange feeling. I had forgotten the burn in my throat and the little coughing afterwards that won't go away for hours. Let's see if 3:50.3 is enough to get me floated. :)
