Rowpro VIRC 2k Nov 22, 11 GMT

Post by badocter »

A "Virtual Indoor Rowing Championships" session has been setup by a few of us that lamentable can't go to BIRC. That however does not stop us from getting our share of the suffering :twisted: For me this is going to be another one of those 5AM sessions :roll: , but sacrifices must be made. :twisted: Looking forward to seeing some of you in the session, though if you live within 5 hours drive of Birmingham you really ought to be booking a room now to go to the real deal. :mrgreen:

I think that is midnight for me on 22nd, and if I am coaching at 6am the next day it may be a little tough! Tempting though. It would be more evidence for Tamsin that I am completely bonkers.

Its not like I am any less mad to be getting up at 4AM for a 5AM race. As much as I would like to see you, if you are coaching that morning being sleep deprived is probably a bad idea.

11:00 GMT session is now full, but there are still 6 spaces in the 16:00 GMT session and 12 spaces in the 18:00 GMT session. If you can't be at BIRC, this is a great way to share in the event :fsbgrin:

Brilliant idea and well worth the effort to take part from my point of view. Thanks for the words on the Chat Bill. =D> I was in a flap about being the starter and had Trish on standby - luckily Steve took over. I had a PB by 2.1 seconds and got under 7 minutes for the first time ever!
