The MOVEO 1000 km Project

[plummy]

This is hard work - I'm in a gym entirely on my own

[Rodger]

Maybe you could start singing aloud while rowing then - reverberate across the gym
Keep going, plummy!

[Daffy]

Not alone Plummy - remember the virtual crowd watching every move, and willing you on with all their might - time to hallucinate our faces, watch us cheering you on, and sing and talk to us, and not give a monkey's who may walk in. You've done a cracking 80,000 metres so far today and it's only mid afternoon! You're allowed to do whatever it takes to get through! =D> =D> =D>

[plummy]

I have a time limit to leave the gym of around 11pm

[cweed]

Tough to be alone, but we have not forgotten you!

[Daffy]

I have a time limit to leave the gym of around 11pm

I know you will be sitting there rowing but also working out what all potential outcomes are for the next few hours.

What time is the flight tomorrow? What time will you have to leave in the morning? Can you fit in any rowing tomorrow before the flight? If not, just think of the forthcoming rest as enabling you to power through the last bit at home. Or here if you need.

[plummy]

6am flight then transfer at Frankfurt (where there have been strikes!!)

Hope you can still get some meters done before the gym closes and the travelling tomorrow, Plummy =D> =D> =D> =D>

[Daffy]

Is it worth checking whether your particular flight is running late, and then row in the meantime, to get to the airport as close to take off as possible? Or is that an impossibility? Tell me to butt out if I am talking rubbish as usual. Just trying to throw some ideas into the mixing pot.

[Daffy]

Is there any chance of extending the 11pm deadline? Begging would be ok?

[CamiCrew]

Hang in there plummy. Brutal stretch of rowing, but from this side it shows as so much incredible progress! Had to duck in and check in from coffeeshop wifi to see how you are and the answer is "still alive! and going strong!" I hope the travel plans work out and hang tough for those last 60k. You've got this. Great job. Going off grid but sending thoughts &wishes nevertheless!

[Rodger]

Less than three hours in that German gym to go now! What a hero!

[Paul Victory]

Is there any chance of extending the 11pm deadline? Begging would be ok?

Latest update suggest that he can stay until around 4 a.m. local time (3 a.m. our time) and head straight to the airport. With just over 54k to go based on the latest update, that should be achievable by our hero, provided he can stay awake that long.

You can do it Dave!

[Daffy]

Thanks Paul - we'll have to shout over the web to keep him awake and doing! That's a good piece of information. Now all fingers and toes are crossed.... [-o< [-o< [-o<

GO DAVE! GO, GO, GO!!!! YOU'RE DA MAN!!! =D> =D> =D>

[Stan]

Absolutely awesome stuff from Dave. I am so impressed. Less than 50k to go now

[Liefcat]

COME ON, DAVE Would be so much better in every way to finish while in Germany

[cweed]

Dave you have got this!! <cheering wildly> Go! Go! GO!

[plummy]

I'm having another Tortellini pit stop - energy level just tanked again -39km to go.

Lovin' the support - thank you !

[cweed]

Definitely fuel up. Really ticking down the meters. This is so exciting and I am not even there.

Dave, it's so close now you can touch it. Just get it finished and then rest/sleep/celebrate.

[Daffy]

Cweed - you and me both. Nauseous and I've not even had to live off boiled eggs and flapjack for breakfast!

Dave - you are doing so admirably well - you've got us all on the edge of our seats urging you on!

[Paul Victory]

Dave, I hear Hans is due back shortly and I know he will cheer you on as if we were all there with you! You are about to complete a fantastic thing that you will remember for the rest of your life and you should savour the moment.

Go Plummy go! Fantastic finish on the way.

=D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D>

[Paul Victory]

Only 27,229 meters to go.

GO Plummy!

[cweed]

That is so exciting! He is really ticking away the meters, which takes incredible determination at this point in the game.
