Still plugging along. After hitting sub 20mins I have moved on from doing 20mins pieces to 30mins now. I did slip a 10K in just to see if I could make the distance.

Nick Rockliff! are you still pulling some big times?

Down to 20:13 for 5000m, sub 20 should be doable in a few weeks.

It has been a while since my last post (March 5th 2012). Any of the old faces from 11 years ago still on here? I am back on the erg and loving it. Just had a full knee replacement so have taken the opportunity to help me get back to fitness. Only a few sessions in, first target will be sub 20min 500...

Hywel Davies set a New 100K Lwt World Record Yesterday, here is the closing 1000m.

Hi Rich, long time no speak. How is the training going? You still "rowing with breaks" any closer to that 6:16 yet.

All the best.

ranger talks the talk but does not walk the walk. In his day he was an excellent erger, the last few years he has done nothing (except 1 BIRC championship Record, and he only got that because Roy Brook could not make it and Roy could have rowed quicker with just one arm). ranger now lives in his own...

You produced nothing at weight and you never will. That's not 100% accurate Roy, he has pulled plenty of crap rows remember the one at WIRC a few years back, he promised a 6:16 and finished with a 7:11, he made more stops that Mr Stoppie on his way to work for the dept of stopping and starting!! I ...

ranger, If Pete gave you some advice you may well row better than a sub 6:40. You sure would have rowed faster than a 7:11 a few years back when you target was 6:16
