We are getting closer to MIT all the time. I'm recovered from my cold, well enough to do another 30k over the weekend for the cause. Have a good weekend Bernard

Roger! Will try to fit in as many metres as I can this weekend. Mostly depends on what the rest of the family are up to.

Trained with Chippy tonight for some reason his decided he was up for doing a load of Sprints 150m 10x 1.30 min rest. The mad foul then decides he wanted to blast the final interval rowing at 1.21 pace. He looked across at me with an angry face and teeth showing. He was like a mad bull!!!! A big thanks to Chippy, Graham, Sue, Richard for supporting me last night in my match. I'm feeling a little tiered today as you can imagine. Well done everyone on your PB's that great news keep it up. Unfortunitly I won't be doing much rowing this weekend as I'm celebrating my birthday (23rd) won't be in any fit state for exercising. Take care everyone keep fit!!!! RICKSTER

Million meters weekend starting? Sounds good to me Spreedy, Bernard. I will hop on as soon as I get off work tonight. NYC Marathon is Sunday, I will do my own marathon Sunday morning while I watch the real one. Watch out Bernard and Niall, I have both of you and spot number nine in my sights. I Expect my new D to arrive Tuesday, Can not wait to try it out. Then it will be time to start really putting on the meters. Mike

Dwayne, you are phenomenal! Well done, very well done! Inside Xeno's time by 7 seconds. When did you realise it was on? Did you have to put in a big effort at the end to beat the time? Or, even, did you ease up so as not to embarrass Xeno? Incredible stuff. I've only managed 8km today. Not really going to make a big impact into the million metre weekend, is that, but the family didn't go out until late. I fear it's the only rowing I'll get to do today as there's a big firework display we're going to tonight. Will have to try and put in some decent metres tomorrow. Well done again on the marathon. Truly brilliant.

I rigged up a water system, so that all I had to do was call the wife, and she put the tube in my mouth. I think not stopping is what did it. Other than that, it was the mental part of keeping a 1:45 split as much as possible. Dwayne

But you need to do it 1.9 faster to beat 2:30:00. BTW - did you record splits?

Hey there Taffs. I'm going to try and get another 50k in tomorrow to try and make up some of the distance that some may not be able to do. Not all at once of course. Anyway, we'll see how it goes. Speedy

There's only one word for your Speedy's marathon achievement &$@@*^ phenomenal . Some of us would love to maintain a 1:45 split for the 2K distance and there's him doing it for the marathon . I'm speechless (but at least I can type!). I've got a busy domestic day today but have decided to get up at 06:00 to do 15,000m. I'm going to try and fit in another session later today and hopefully pull another 10-15,000m. I can see Bernard has recovered sufficiently from his cold to overtake me into 9th place after I had a light day on Friday (didn't want him thinking I was taking advantage of his absence from the erg). He's fair game now though so it's time to put some metres back on the board.
