Dear Philip, you are such a gent
And I promise it is my intent
To help holler, " Anchors away "
Alas though, not on this day
' Cos ' my energy levels are spent :-({|= :fsbgrin: :fswink:

Philip, due to a change of plan, I've had to complete the Dog Day Challenge today, and now need a couple of rest days but I will give the CTC a go on Tuesday. Desperate times call for desperate measures. :fsbgrin: :fswink:

Well done all on a challenge which proves to be every bit as horrible as we’d expected =D> =D>

It’s been a bit of a bumpy couple of months for me training-wise with very little regularity, but I realised last night that the month was running out fast so I gave this a shot this morning.

To be fair, the first couple of intervals were okay; over quickly with a bit of short-sliding. After that it quickly got a bit rough :~c 8)

Thank you Steve. :)

It is possible that some ladies might be on holiday or even, not very well.

I would also like to take this opportunity to give a special mention for Clare, because of her excellent record of participation in the CTC. Thank you Clare, ^O^ =D> =D> :)
