Hey gang I'm back! What a great bike trip, I'm sooo glad I went. 36 miles on Friday, 57 on Saturday, 25 on Sunday. A miserable headwind on Saturday. I had a "passenger" drafting me all the way home because the wind was so stiff--kept my mph down to 13 so they could stay close enough to benefit from the wind shadow (it was a bad enough wind that on terrain that should have been 17-19 mph I was only able to crank out a desperate 14.5, but kept it down to 13). One woman, who only weighs about 104, could barely keep her bike from being pushed up against the curb by the wind. Rowing rules for getting in shape for the bike. Had a ball passing lines of people on long uphills, my favorite game. Also catching up after having to go back 1.5 miles after sunglasses. Also getting to tell everyone later that yes, my bike is steel, and yes, it only has 12 gears! Gotta be my C2 engine that makes it faster than their titanium 24 gear machines!<br /><br />I'll be on the erg for my first gentle go tomorrow night, I don't know how far I'll go but it will be s-l-o-w. I don't need the back support belt for day to day stuff, but I used it on the bike, mostly to remind myself to keep the abs nice and tight and had no problems except for some stiffness. <br /><br />Great to hear you are recovering too, Niall! Let's get the team meters back up!<br /><br />Carla

Welcome back Carla. Get those meters in, but go easy. I think we'd all rather you be putting in some meters (and stay healthy), than get hurt again, and don't put in any meters.<br /><br />Dwayne

Hi Chippy,<br /><br />Was going to try one last Sunday but did a 17K run instead. Why - Physio daughter talked me into doing the Gold Coast HM run again (July) and in a moment of weakness I agreed. Sunday was lovely and sunny and the longest run in K's I've done recently need less than 10 fingers to count on so .... Not sure which would have been worst, the run or your 10 x 1 mins <br /><br />So will schedule a crack at the sub 3 FM this Sunday arvo - the only time it is nice and quiet at the gym. Looking forward to it in a perverse kind of way <br /><br />Great bike ride Carla, aren't you glad you went ! A memorable event indeed. Thanks for sharing the story. Good luck with the come'back' from injury as you ease back into erging again.<br /><br />Martin

Martin,<br /><br />Prior to my first marathon Chippy told me you hit the wall at 33,000 meters. I pooed my pants all the way from 21000 to 33000 then thought about nothing else for the remaining 9000.<br /><br />My advice to you, take a bucket to pee in, get Vanessa to bring you fruit and water halfway, stick some vaseline under your armpits, towel on seat, and forget about the wall untill you actually hit it at 41,194. The last 1000 meters are easy, but the 1 meter from 41193 to 41194 is a real killer!<br /><br />Enjoy.<br />Chris

I'm back in the boat!<br />A leisurely 8K today, gentle & careful & lots of stretching. I plan to do 8--10K a day very slowly, nothing faster than 2:10, for a couple of weeks. No goals in mind but to ease back into training. At least it will be meters for the Taffy bank!<br />

Carla,<br />I don't think you need to worry about the new ranking rules. Evidently nothing has changed. Take a look at women's 40-49 6000m #1 ranking. The time is obviously bogus, yet it has still been allowed into the ranking with a place number. The only thing I can guess is that when someone does a 'validated' piece this person will be put as #2???<br />Also, I asked C2Bill about validated ranking using slides since there is such a controversy over them. He said that all pieces except 2k can be used. Good news to enjoy that extra 1sec or so each 500m! (as well as saving our backs!)<br /><br />Take care of your back. Take the time to build up the rowing-specific muscles before doing any really hard pieces. You're a strong, fit, healthy woman with a lot of potential to do great on this training machine, but like any sport you need to take the time to get sport-specific or you're asking for trouble - as you have found out. I know from the past that you don't respect what I have to say, but at least think about it. Remember that I've been rowing for over 20 years and have competed Internationally. So I'm no smuck! Believe it or not, I do know a few things about this sport!<br /><br />Happy rowing!<br />DB
