Sorry for the delayed response. Sounds like the combo of the dry arena, and race jitters must have done you in. Major bummer mate. Shake this one off and do what you need to do for Cardiff. All will work itself out. Speedy </td></tr></table> Cheers Speedy, really appreciate it. Gonna be much better at Cardiff, I know it!

(On my way to coach kids sailing on Cardiff Bay) I had to ask the postman where the house was, he noticed championship entry on the envelope and commented about the number of these letters he had posted. It will be great to see if you both can go sub 7, shame you won't be in the same race. Mike in his first event, lets hope there is some reward for all the metres rowed this year. I hope thinks go better for you Niall next week, at least you won't need to get up at 6.30. I can't believe that can have helped at BIRC. Look forward to seeing everyone there. Phil

I thought it was going to be hard to find the house but I should not have worried. When I got close I noticed a bunch of people filling out application forms on the drive and then posting them through. Personally next weekend is about setting a new PB. I am not in good enough shape post the back injury to get close to 7.00 but it will be an interesting session none the less. Look forward to seeing everyone there next weekend. After all it is our home championship. Phil, I was looking at last years times and if you row your BIRC time again you should win your age (>40 ) category.

Look forward to seeing all the Taffs especially those I've not met before. It's gonna be a great day!

It’s interesting. I have had a Concept II rower since I think around 1991. First had a Model B, and the last three years a Model C. Now I am pining away for a Model D, but will wait.. I have really done the rowing to maintain some aerobic fitness though never been really serious about competing. I find that it really cuts into my ability to lift when I start getting into heavy training with the rower. It really cuts back on the fast twitch muscle mass. I see all the banter on the times and fun people have at the events , yet I know to be competitive you really have to cut down on the fast twitch mass which will kill my abilities in Greco-Roman wrestling which I like to do. It sucks.

Hi (UK) Taffs, What's the roll call for Cardiff then ? With a well deserved win against the Wallabies I expect all Taffs competing to be extra motivated ! Thou beating the Wallabies is nothing unusual anymore it seems - boy have they lost their way since the Tri-nations. All Blacks look awesome - think I will become an honorary Kiwi for a while Well done Wales. Jumpsoda, if you rate 50+ on the erg that may get the fast twitch muscles going ?! Cheers and may good form be with you all in the lead up to the weekend's racing, Martin

I hope the Welsh win on the weekend made things very comfortable at home Martin. Plenty of opportunity to make up for the last 18 years in which Wales have been unable to beat the Ozzies. As for a roll call for Cardiff, I know myself, PaulB, Wilko51 and PhilT are racing. Haven't heard from Chippy and his crew but I would hope there would be a good turn out from the taffs as this is our home championship. As soon as I know more, I'll post an update. I'll contact the organiser today and see if he's got a competitors' list.

Hello all, MikeZ sent me a PM concerning Debra. Apparently she's left the team. Anyone know why? Hope she didn't fly over to one of the Canada teams. Speedy

[old] Niall · Post by **[old] Niall** » November 30th, 2005, 3:46 pm

Yeh, looks like she's joined the Eh! Team and taken her 1,011,000m with her That's a real shame (losing her, not the metres). Debra was a real "actions speak louder than words" kinda gal and just plugged away at the metres. Would love to know what compelled her to leave us

I went out to the UK Taff thread, and noticed that there are alot of people saying that they're Welsh, but none of them have signed up. What's up with that??? Maybe if we offered a signing bonus....

Yesterday the US forum was messed up so I went to the UK one to post my 6K time for the cross team competition thing. Is this supposed to posted on our Taff site or what? I'm confused. Anyway, it was a PB by 3 seconds, but my 6K PB is still, I think, stupidly at a slower pace than my 30 min. I have to fix that. (So now I'll row a slower 30 min. That will fix it, right?) I have no idea why Debra left and it's too bad, but maybe it makes more sense for her to be on the Eh! Team since she's Canadian. I'm sure they are tickled to have her! We really need good female members now for the cross team challenge. Debra, you are missed.... I think the Taff thread should only be on one site. We are getting fractured by it being on two. Let's either move it entirely to UK or leave it here. We are turning into almost 2 seperate Taff teams. I've never heard of half the people that have posted on the thread over there.

DECEMBER TEAM CHALLENGE 6K Unrestricted Post your times in blue on this thread. And for that added level of competitiveness, we're competing as a team against the UK teams. So the top 5 times (incl. 1xfemale and 1xLwt) will make it to the Taff Attack A team and if we can make up a B team all the better. Let's show them on the UK site how damn good us Taffs are! For more info see <a href='http://www.concept2.co.uk/forum/viewtop ... 070#162070' target='_blank'>this thread</a>
