The goal was supposed to be to do your 1/2 hour PB at 20 spm and you actually did it (I think we said 99% was close enough or something like that).Aha! I found my old spreadsheet with the results. You did a 9207 last year at 20 spm. General consensus: UnF'n believable.

Your password is the default one at the moment, which I'll send you by PM.<br /><br />To check the Team Challenge standings, go to your online logbook and click the <a href='http://www.concept2.com/sranking03/log_team.asp' target='_blank'>Teams</a> link at the top of the page (or you can just go directly there using the link I've just given).<br /><br />Then click on the <a href='http://www.concept2.com/sranking03/team ... e_index=28' target='_blank'>View Team Standings</a> link (or, again, go directly there using that link).<br /><br />The log_team.asp page says "You belong to the following teams as a member", so I wonder if a person can use their metres for more than one team at a time. If not, I don't really see the point of the extra interim page.

The ultimate deadline for it is 12th Nov 2006.<br /><br />I've logged your first 8377 for you. Daren has sent the password.

The January team is just a one-month team and doesn't affect the regular virtual team meters as I understand it. <br /><br />I'm also not sure what the basic idea of the January teams is. Maybe it's just to stir the pot a little.<br /><br />Byron

Dougie: great result on the 2k you must be pleased! <br />Well folks I will not be attempting the 30 min challange this week as I seem to have wrenched my back doing my 500x8 workout. I was killing my old split avg and then one bad stroke did me in. (all that Rugby I played in my 20s is haunting me) Now I am walking around like Frankenstien. I will be cheering everyone on. Hopefully after a day or so off I will at least be putting Ks down for the team deal. Keep up the good work Taffs!

It's a very, very sad state of affairs when you have to create an alter ego to try and widen your audience. Have you considered applying your energies into something more positive?
