Hey team, Still here, but in a real difficult month. Its shutdown in work for both myself and Chippy, which means we're pretty much got 12 hours a day, 7 days a week for 3-4 weeks. But we are keeping our peckers up, and I have managed 30,000 meters this week so far. He came over to see me yesterday (we need to talk about Taff Attack, and Rowing every day or we get depressed!). Rob (Chippy) asked "what motivates me to row?" I replied "The thought of you beating me Chip!". On that note I'll tell you all a story about our Chippy. Last week he got his head on and decided to row 5,000 and set a new PB. However, Chippy being Chippy he decides he wants to break 19 mins come what may. He explained to me that with 1900 meters left to row his heart rate is already at 177 bpm (his theoretical maximum because hes an old Taff!). Throwing caution to the wind our brave Chippy soldiers on at the same pace. 500 meters later (and still with 1400 meters left to go) he explained to me that he could no longer feel his arms, and his heart rate was 11 beats over max at 187!!!!!!!! His splits dropped to 10:40 for 500m (he STILL didn't stop!) and he eventually finished in around 24 minutes. WHEN TAFF ATTACK ASK FOR COMMITTMENT CHIPPY WILL BE AT THE FRONT OF THE QUE! He loves the pain man! The shutdown goes till end August and then I fly to Northern Ireland to get married. After that Im on honeymoon for 3 weeks in New Zealand. BUT I AM DETERMINED TO KEEP THE METERS UP EVEN IF IT MEANS DIVORCE!, if I go quiet trust me I am thinking of you all and the pain your going through for the TA! Keep it up all Cheers, Chris.

"Honey....I can't feel my arms, do you think I should keep going?" And you guys say that I'm mental!! Chris - Congrats on the upcoming wedding. Never been to NZ. Hope to get there one day. Heard it's absolutely beautiful. Row on Taffs!!! Speedy

Hey gang! Still not rowing because of Achilles but biking some, which doesn't seem to strain it. I suspect the different angle of the feet on the C model (my B had flex feet that were mounted on the wooden rests perfectly vertically, and the C has the toes pointed outwards) may have caused this. I'm not sure what to do about it as it doesn't appear that you can move the flex feet on the C...I'm anxious to get to that first million meters but I don't want to do it at the risk of trashing this tendon so I am having to be patient. It's great to have team members that look out for each other! You guys are doing great with your heavy schedules and up coming nuptials! I haven't checked lately how we are doing in the standings--going there now--hope I'll be contributing to the effort again soon. Go Taffs! Carla

Hello everyone the Rickster here. Just to let you all know I won't be putting in so many meters for a while because i have got loads of training for the British under 23's Squash Championships in Manchester (England). This is a big competition for me so i want to give it a good go this year. I will get as many meters in as I can, in between training. Just make sure you guys keep it going while I'm not. Train hard speak to you all soon RICKSTER

Hi Guys, Just joined Taff Attack as qualify through residency (lived in Wales - Cardiff - for the last 20 years). After a long absence from C2 rowing (due to injury and general lack of focus for some periods!), I'm now back on the C2. I'm in training to do a charity 1 million metre challenge (1 million metres in 5 months) and plan to commence the challenge at the beginning of September. The hope is that while I can raise money for charity, I'll also be able to lose some excess pounds and try and improve my PBs which are now 18 months old. It's great to have a Welsh contingent online and I look forward to contributing to both the postings aswell as the metres. Cheers, Niall

Welcome Niall! It's great to have another team member to help rack up those meters! Maybe now we'll have a crack at #6! Carla
