Think they are getting the hang of this 'ere erging thingymejig Mike and so are on the improve. We need a few more metres out of the founding fathers, if old age hasn't caught up with them too much that is <br /><br />Chris, 5K thankfully over. Very tough and I have to confess I much prefer the longer distances where I can have a few easy strokes now and again to catch my breath and regain composure. Not looking forward to the last 3 categories - I'm now in your neck of the woods where you and Chippy reign supreme <br /><br />Maybe a 1K for me next week before the 2K to get the lungs used to that 'orrible burning sensation that is thankfully missing on the longer stuff !<br /><br />Cheers and good luck with the 6K,<br /><br />Martin

No body is talking any more. </td></tr></table> <br /><br />I've been rowing (on water) early mornings. I start out before daylight when the water is flat and there is no wind. Along with some other rowers, I share the river with ducks, herons, and yesterday there were three fawns standing in the river with the water up to their knees as I passed by. They watched me go by, then they turned around and went back into the woods. Although I love the ergometer and my workouts, especially with Xeno's DVD's, rowing on a still river is as good as it gets. <br /><br />After my row, I usually go cycling. So much to do, so little time. <br /><br />Byron

Hi everyone!<br /><br />I've been rather sporadic lately, but don't worry, I'm just trying to take advantage of the nice weather while it lasts and bike, and since my job is with a company that does most of its business in the summer it doesn't leave me much time or energy! We are going off to Acadia National Park for a week starting Thursday; I'm back Labor Day, and you should see some more consistent meters from me then. I would actually love it if some Taffs would hector me with emails around then to help me get committed and motivated again! Any takers?<br /><br />For the last bit I've only rowed a few times a week, usually a 30 min or a 10K and pokey slow with stops, at that. It's just so dang hot and humid and so un-fun compared to flying around on a bike. The other night I set myself up with the erg on slides and a fan and something to watch on TV to distract myself and boy had a really hard time making myself keep going. Afterwards when I was putting it all away I realized I had never turned the fan on--it was just sitting there! no wonder it was such a nasty row.<br /><br />I did a crappy 10K last night and will slog out another tonight.<br />Carla<br /><br />

Summer holidays have got in the way for me too.<br /><br />Starting to put some longer pieces together. Did 10K on Monday 37.16 a PB but think there is still plenty of room for improvement.<br /><br />Hope to do another 10K today to get back above Carla, one things for sure as I look out across the M4 from my office in Newport I don't need to worry about humidity or fans. It is blowing a gale and raining. No incentive to get on a bike.<br /><br />Phil<br /><br />
