Quick reminder that the link to Daves row is here:

At this particular stage he is about 83km into the row and about 5.5k ahead of schedule

All looking good so far, but I guess things can change quickly, especially in the small hours of the night. Keep plugging away, plummy, we're all rooting for you.

Thanks for the link Stan. Now over 6k ahead of target after 9 hours.

Looks like Plummy has had to retire at about the half way mark. Bad luck Plummy, but that was still a long row and we are all proud of you! A painful reminder of just how difficult attempting this kind of endurance event can be! Good luck to the other two carrying on.

[Grobi]

Surely not the outcome of the event you would have like to have achieved, but health comes first! A wise decision not to overdo it when it's just not the time. You have another ten years now to attack the next record

[millie]

Sorry to hear that Dave, but still an amazing feat to do as much as you did. Very proud of your effort
Looks like the other 2 are still going and ahead of target from what I can see??

[Tyelander]

Sorry to hear that news Dave - But over the 100k is a noble effort & you get to fight another day - WELL DONE =D> =D>

[paulgould]

Hard luck Dave, I'm sorry it didn't all go to plan, but very well done for having the guts to tackle what is a really tough challenge =D> =D> .

Tough one Dave a Sterling effort all the same, send my regards to Stuart.

It looks like Anke is going to double the old world record. She will also beat the M 40-49 Hwt british record. Not bad for a W 50-59 Lwt I'd say!

[billwright]

Good effort Dave - good call to stop though by the sound of it. =D> =D>

What a trip for Anke (? Who is Anke ? ). In her 24th hour now and set to pass 260k. Wonder Woman or what!

Bill

[Stan]

Magnificent performance from Anke =D> =D> =D> =D> =D>

Anke is Anke Molkenthin. She won a silver medal at the Paralympics and a hammer in Boston. Don't know if you were at Grimsby last year? She raced there as well.

[Grobi]

265,828m in 24 hours! Anke more than doubled the old world record distance! Awesome performance!

[billwright]

Thanks Peter. Magnificent 24 hours for her. =D> =D>

Bill

[millie]

Wow Incredible achievement.

[Paul Victory]

Tough luck Dave. But it was a very brave attempt and no mean achievement to cover over 100k.

Anke's performance is just mind boggling. Words fail me.

[stumpy]

Oh my she is some lady, I had no idea that the guest Intl. rower was in fact Anke. A wonderful result Anke well done.

I've only just brought myself to come and look at this thread. The only internet we had last night was very slow and intermittent using my phone as a hotspot and it only worked if the window was open (and it was ruddy freezing outside).

I couldn't post anything as it would crash the little connection we had so I tried to use a comment on the googledoc to give a tiny bit of feedback but seemed to spend more of my precious rest fannying around sorting out the support team than resting and ended up twice running out of time to do the running repairs I needed to do on me!

Sorry it was a dismal failure (my first ultra-distance one). Maybe the hope of knocking this out with only around 3 weeks prep was too big an ask or maybe there was another underlying factor as yet unknown. My lower back is still really sore, my hands were bad after only 4~5 hours bit it was the nausea that did it for me.
The more I thing about it, the more I think it is some kind of motion sickness to do with fatigue and monotony - not sure.
It came back as soon as I started again after a full 6~8 hours off the erg so there was no way I could have "worked through it"

Anyway - I much appreciate your support (and Jason popping by) and I'll take a couple of days off, re-group and see what I can do towards the CTC and March Madness for the team!! Tired now so going to crash.

Tomorrow is another day and all that......

[flatlander]

Better to aim high and miss than to aim low and get there - all respect to you for even trying it Dave

Bad luck Dave, big cudos for even attempting.

Congratulations to Anke & Stu.

[Daz]

I've just worked out Anke's pace is about the same as my cant breath any more legs are jelly please make it stop 2k (if my maths is somewhere close).

She is a machine.

Plummy, as for your effort, just read the above to put into perspective your achievement

[strider77]

Magnificent effort Dave-next time mate
