Somebody please talk me out of doing this one.... I will be at home next week, could use the nonathlon points, my PB is a very soft 3:35 something and there are already 5 others registered... The question is how bad is this going to set back my Crash-B training.
Late edit -- have weighed the options and don't want to sacrifice the performance in Boston. If I am going to get in PB territory in 8 weeks all the weeks have to be quality training and I can't afford the two week setback. Will still do an FM this season, but not before Crash-B.

Re: Rowpro FM on Dec 23 ???
read Plummy's post on his marathon then think ..do I really need to do one now ..then think this will affect my 2k training for at least 2 weeks then think there are 5 signed up so they don't need me anyway ......then against all your best judgment go ahead and do it
but you will regret it if you do

Re: Rowpro FM on Dec 23 ???
I'm vaguely tempted by this one. Never done a FM before so have little idea of what to expect.
I suspect that I won't be able to finish it due to sciatic pain but I'll think it over!

Sorry for stirring things up and then bailing, but I need every week between now and Boston to be quality training and can't afford a 2 week setback. Will still do an FM this season, but not before Crash-B.
