I had no idea we were both so close to 500,000 for the season. Looking upwards towards the final goal does not encourage you at all. We had a fun family challenge of biking it without walking. Well, I found the best way to do it was to focus on the white line on the side of the road, and just stay with that line. So you've been a "white line" and it's sort of surprising to see where it's headed. 31K today, and that will leave something less than 10K to reach 500,000. So that's a good plan. Carla  </td></tr></table> Hi Carla, great story. Glad to be of asistance, any time you need a 'white line' .... Speaking of which - after doing the 31K you will 'only' need 2646m to achieve 500000m. So with my piece of chalk I'm suggesting a cooldown piece of ..... you guessed it Good luck with the 31K, make sure you enjoy it too, Martin PS Another chalk line - would be kind of fitting if you did reach 500000m today as we are now at the halfway point of the season !!!!

Didn't finish the 31K at once. It was just too much of an increase at once. I was only about 30 seconds off my HM pb. Probably I started too fast, and I just couldn't go on after 28K. An HM is the furthest I've ever rowed and I guess adding another 10K on at once was too ambitious. Carla

28K Carla, thats sensational - well done. Feel weary just thinking about it ! Pace may have been a factor in not reaching 31K but I suspect simply doing the 'extra' 30 mins on the erg is something your body isn't used to yet - the next time will seen 'easier' I can assure you. Be proud of that 28K - a FM distance is not that much further now. As a reward you only need do 1646m on top of that last 3K later today - my Maths was out by 1000m !! Great row, Taff Girl Power Rules Martin

Hi Taffs, Great post Mike, love hearing all the Big Apple news - though "no-one to arrest" ?? How times change. Should have put the cuffs on Sue and Graham for "holidaying with intent" or something and made them erg a 10K as punishment . Well done on the scales - "Kms goes up, kilos comes down" as they say. Good luck in the HM James - having recently done one after a loooooong layoff (20 years !) I know how that distance can bite you. Going for any particular time ? I was aiming for a sub 2 hrs, did 2:01 (now THAT was gutting Chris !!!) Cracked the BIG MILLION Godfried - way to go man Good idea to put the graph click-ons in your signature, saves us scrolling back to find your "graph" posts to click on. Just make sure you post regularly - doesn't matter what you say I just want you for your graph click-ons Welcome Richard - looking forward to seeing what an Ironman athlete can do on the erg. Should be awesome. Another PB Daren - now why ain't I surprised !!! Go get that sub 7 2K while you are running HOT. Great 'head to head' metres tussle between Niall and Bernie, makes for great viewing. Going to let Carla enjoy being first to 500K - she deserves it after that gruelling 28K ! Don't worry about Steve V Chris - think he is still taking the Mickey !!! If he really wanted to join TA he would have just muscled in like the rest of us I see Team RowSlo is pulling away from Team Oarfull - Carole must be having a nice long rest as a lead up to BIRC ?! Cheers Martin

If I weren't such a wuss I'd have tried to do 31k in one go, too. I didn't, and you did. OK you didn't make it this time, but you tried, and you have only failed once you stop trying again. =) Well done on the million, Godfried. Great stuff - here's to the next million. \o/

Hey there fellow Taff's, I was sitting here working very late and thought that if we pick one day in the next few weeks for all of use to do a lot of meters One Million perhaps, between us all, it would be a great jump up on MIT. I know we all do differant long pieces but if we combine our efforts and do one, two or three pieces that day we could do a cool million. Let me know what you think and maybe pick a date, or maybe I should not work so many hours straight Mike
