I just wanted to thank Wolfie for making me finish.

The plan was to have a slow start and pick things up from half way. Legs felt heavy from the start and when I tried to pick up the pace there was nothing there, If it hadn't been for Wolfie pllaying with me like a kitten with a ball of wool I'd have just given up.

Really dont know why I was so poor today, I'm beginning to think I may struggle to even beat Jason on Saturday :roll:

That's the beauty & the beast of row pro.
There I was pootling along @2:06 r18, happy in my own little world with you storming ahead about 120m.
Then at about half way I started gaining (well, to be honest you slowed slightly and I quickened a little) and of course the little rowpro devil pops out and said "if I stay at the same rate, and Dave stays at the same rate I should overtake him with about 2 mins left :twisted: " You just can't help it, that's what row pro does.
Sure enough, with 2 min to go we were level.
Then of course with 1 minute left your little rowpro devil showed himself and put in a little spurt for the line.
My devil new it was coming of course, so I was ready to respond... and so it goes on.
Thats the beauty and the beast of row pro :D

:shock: :o I was hoping that you would be my pace maker for the first 3k at about 1:41.5. I suppose i will have to go with plan B. [-X
