I rowed on the water for the first time in a LONG time!! It was wobbly and uncomfortable (the boat, a lwt pair, was too small), but I loved it!!! Back on the erg later. I will be in London , UK, at the end of this month. Does anyone know of a place in South Kensington where I can erg without a long lasting membership? Thanks, chickenlegs

It was obvious you could do it, but still: it need to be done first. You updated your 5K and 6K nonathlons score too? These S10PS training really helped your technique and endurance. I wonder: did you do this sub 40 with S10PS too? If yes, I am impressed even more and I know you can go faster. No PB attempts for me: training seriously now for European Open 2K. Some 2K and 5K tests coming after september Keep up the good work. Tom

Search for posts by a chap called Paul Smith throughout 2003 and early this year under the title STM (Stop The Madness) for a detailed explanation and training program. Bill

Starting to build on things now we are closer to the start of the season in the U.K. I am doing more distance work now, just short of 90K in 7 days (thats a lot for a lazy person like me) Another 12000m today of various intervals. Put in a 2K at a target pace of 1:40. loads left for the last 500m, well under target. Shall have a all out effort in a month or so. Sir Pirate

Been nursing a sore lower back lately but it seems to be getting better.

It was "Pirates Training Camp" day today. Me, Roy Brook, Graham Todd and a new boy named Alistair got together for a session. Roy & Toddy did HM both Pb'ing, Alistair did a 2K pb of 7:12 I think. I did a 5K at 1:42.8 (17:07.7) then a 6:40.0 (1:40.0) 2K. Good sessions all round. Sir Pirate

It's great to try for a pb when you have friends shouting at you, It helped me to knock 90.2 seconds off my 1/2M pb, from 81.08.8 to 79.38.6. nicely tired now

Roy, don't forget to change your signature/profile. You are always telling others to do it. Don't let it happen again, now go straight to your room with no dinner Sir Pirate

Time for some of those horrible intervals for me Very pleased with my 6x500m today as it was the fastes I have ever done them and did not struggle on any of them. Could of done 2 more but did not want to take the change of any of them going over 1:35. 2:30 inactive & 1 min active recovery. 1st - 1:34.8 2nd - 1:34.7 3rd - 1:34.7 4th - 1:34.5 5th - 1:34.3 6th - 1:33.5 Sir Pirate
