Bob,<br />Being such a great achievement I was disappointed to discover that Concept2 haven't updated your World 2k record yet and a couple of your middle distance records that you have broken this year.<br /><br />Any reason for that as they have updated some other 2006 records broken this year?<br /><br /><br />Regards,<br />Chris

There are several different places where the WRs are listed and I am not sure which one you looked at. It might be that those are not updated until the end of the season, i.e. April 30. If someone breaks a record before then, the old record is wiped out. My non-2k records really have no standing, since most of them do not follow the strict rules, even though I have validation Vs for those done after September (when I installed the PM3). At this point, I have done all but the marathon. I might give that a go after the CRASH-Bs just to have a number for each of the ten events. Last time I looked, I was first in the category for all of the others - for this season, but often it is one out of one. No one else was doing them. Checking back through earlier seasons to see if they stand up as all time records is a chore and I am not sure that it is possible to do a complete job, since the earliest records seem to be missing.<br /><br />regards and thanks for your concern,<br /><br />Bob S.<br />
