Its a really close scrap at the moment between us, German team and AWL, every metre counts!

[Mike Channin]

Time for an update, @JonT - there are some heroic performances going on.

Interestingly, if you filter by Virtual, and then ignore the Diamonds Mega-team which seems to account for the top 2 places, then the next three positions (Age Without Limits, German friends, us) are close, although they're starting to pull away a bit...

We need a Joi Bear and Paul Roberts to do his stuff like in the Fall Challenge when he was a monster !!

[Grobi]

For everyone competing in this challenge or thinking of joining, here are three important deadlines:

- January 16th 11:59 p.m. GMT: last day for joining a team and the challenge
- January 31st: last day of the challenge
- February 3rd, 11:59 p.m. GMT: last day for entering challenge meters

So were the top 4 on the meterboard, but all but Dwayne have significantly dropped their distances since then. Well done Alan and William for continuing your impressive performances on all of the distance challenges

Hi Iain,
It's easier for us retired folk as we have more time than people that are still working. Thanks for the compliment though !

Not posted any meters for a few days. I have been unable to row as I am suffering from a particularly painful episode of gout plus I was hanging a door in my shower room and reawakened an old muscle injury in my right bicep. So frustratingly not adding anything to the cause and will soon be dropping down the metre board too. Hopefully be back soon..

[strider77]

Sorry to hear that Chris, hope you're back as good as new soon we miss your metres !

[JonT]

We’ve slipped to 11th, with Ariel Toy bearing down on us, and Silent Water Neufeld opening up a gap ahead of us. It’s all hands to the handle folks. I’m away from home but will back mid week - not that I match the folks putting in major metres.
