Had guests for Christmas so Andy made me put the erg away to make room for the dining table. No rowing for 10 days, although thankfully I haven't put on any weight over the Christmas period.  </td></tr></table> She speaks!!!! Good to hear from you Jasmine.

Niall, Great job on the 1MM challenge. Congrats. Taffs (and all you others as well), A early Happy New Year wish (Still have about 14 hours to go). May this next year bring you all happiness and prosperity. Taffs (only), We've got less than 40k to go to catch MIT!!! Speedy

WE DID IT!!!! We passed MIT!! Woo hoo! Happy New Year everyone. Don't indulge too much. There are a lot of meters to row still to pull further ahead of MIT. Hey, Andy and Robert - did you guys just do a HM or something?! Andy you just smoked past me! Take care of that pink leg Carole! Make the best of this down time - Enjoy the New Year celebration!! Carla, lucky for you that the scale didn't go up. Unfortunately, I can't say the same. I have to balance out the rowing and the stress eating better! Tons of essays and assignments to write in the next month. Debra

Debra, I'm sure when I put the new batteries in, the scale certainly will go up! It always says "lo" when the batteries are dead. Carla

Looks to me like Bernard's put in an hour of rowing as his total's increased by 15K today (see Bernard, I'm still keeping an eye on you matey !). Great job guys!! As Debra says, it's important we put as much daylight between us and MIT while they're celebrating the New Year. With 40 team members they're gonna be looking to claw back that 5th position from us.

Just came across this and thought it looked like a Taff Attack Team Xmas Party!! <img src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v372/ ... 13_4_6.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image' />

Yeah!!!!! Now that we've passed MIT (only by 13k at this point), let's see if we can hang on to it. Well done Taffs!!!!!!!!!! Speedy

Passing MIT - Nice start to the New Year Tafferoons Survived the Oz celebrations thanks Warnie, pity you weren't here for the 35 C day yesterday. Usual Vic cool change has swept thru, today is 22 C and overcast. Hope all are seeing in the New Year in style and looking forward to that first erg for 2005 ( if not erging already ) Better paint the erg pink too Carole to match gammy leg. Here's to 2005 with the Taff team ready to rock, Martin

Guys, I am thinking of attempting the marathon for the first time in a couple of weeks and thought I would try and do this to raise money for the Tsunami relief fund. Has anyone attempted to do this sort of thing before (not the marathon!) and be able to offer advice on the best way to do this? Is it a good idea? Please feel free to PM me or reply on here with your thoughts. I have friends in Sri Lanka and felt I just had to try and do something. Warnie.

The best way for people to sponsor you is to use the Just Giving site, as they can use their credit card so you can get donations from all over the world. We used it for our MAD Team 100k last year and many others have found it to be the best way of getting people to sponsor you. <a href='http://www.justgiving.com/Statements/ar ... hquake.asp' target='_blank'>http://www.justgiving.com/Statements/ar ... br> You can set up your own personal webpage saying what you're doing and what it's for. There's a list of charities who are involved. See the link above to find out more. Hope this helps. Cheers Jon

I would totally agree with what Jon suggests. I've often found doing a charity event is the easy bit, getting the money in is the hard bit. Sites like www.justgiving.com make it easy for people to donate money from anywhere in the World. The easier it is for people to donate, the more money you'll collect. Let us know when you've got yourself set up (or if you want any further help) so we can start pledging our support. Good luck.

Thanks guys, once I get something set up I'll let you all know. Looks like it will be either a week Friday or Saturday. Just feel it's right to do something.

Taffs, We've pulled out about 200k in front of MIT. That can disappear in an instant however, so let's keep it up. I think the next goal should be to try and catch Team Oarsome by the end of the season. Speedy

I'll try to do what I can. I'm down with a bad cold right now but still might do a very slow and easy 5k. It couldn't possibly make me feel any worse!!
