Congratulations Philip. I’m waiting to see if you use the Solstice as an opportunity to go for the HM record.

Awesome Philip. I'm sure there's many more you can target - but don't over-stretch yourself sir.

It’s ironic you have said that, David, because after some facial surgery today I have been advised to avoid vigorous exercise for two weeks. So, like the man said, “I’ll be back :!:

All went well. No worries. Stitches come out next Thursday. No chance of looking any younger. Just feel as though I’ve been kicked in the head :!:

Thanks, Tina. Having exchanged the Victorian winter for Queensland’s welcome warmth for a few weeks, I shall soon be back on the erg with renewed vigour :!:

Very well done Philip, we need to create a new section in the hall of fame for you 👏!

I'm pretty sure I could not match that figure and I'm only 73 and at 15 stone a heavyweight 🤣

I normally row before breakfast but this time it was late afternoon. It wasn’t a planned attack; I felt good and it was just one of those days :!:
Negative splits and 15 seconds better than the previous record. WR #8 ; very happy. :fsgrin:
