Nice one Stan.
No attempt from me this month, which is pretty poor given I run this challenge. In my defence, illness got in the way.
Here's the current leaderboard. And unless anyone submits a late attempt, it will also be the final one.

Congratulations to Bill for winning February's 500m WAARC! =D>
If it's any consolation, Mikkel, you did record the fastest actual time.

Second place is excellent in this case. Even if I could have done another row faster, it would've be a waste of time and power. And I didn't really had the time or power for another attempt, using a lot of it on the CS and CTC.

Well done on your time Mikkel - it was a winner really.

Still very impressive. You'd still easily beat me even without the age adjustment!billwright wrote:It's the age wot dunnit!
