That would have been a much better strategy for me. Our 2K times are almost exactly the same ... mine is 1:49.75. I'm going to try this next time. Good show!

Good Luck Mark Take it carefully on the 500 and 250 pieces and you will be in around 11:50 next time for sure. Paul

Felt like giving up after about 15 minutes. Got 30 Nonathlon points - Carla is in 17th place on the nonathlon board - fantastic effort but I'm on your tail moving from 132nd to 131st last night

Great job, Chippy & Dougie, you've clearly put us up in the standings. Congrats on being the Top Taffs in the Rugby Challenge!! I am slowing the boat down (must have caught a crab). I have the feeling we are really going to have to fight to stay up there this month on this one. I expect to give this several tries a week myself and with increasing dread each time...

[quote name='Brendo' date='Mar 5 2006, 08:16 AM' post='58511'] We have a new member (number 65) who are you? Welcome Brendo The new member is Chris Hourihne,i am helping him get in shape down the gym

He has improved a great deal in the last couple of weeks but his belly is the big problem.Think he will have to go down to the local butcher shop and have ten minutes on the bacon slicer to reduce his belly a bit.

Chris is a practical joker so when he finds the forum expect some funny banter. Chippy

Think i am still numero uno in Taff boat 1 and enjoying my day in the sun

When Speedy and the big guns get going ill be thrown out.

As Chris said to me today about my gloating,"the sun shines on a crocodiles ass sometimes"

Thats mates for you. Chippy

Hi all, I managed to press gang my mate into joining us. His name is Paul Wapshare and he is unfortunately English, but for some reason always supports us at the rugby. He apparently is more used to rowing on water which seems a strange concept. I have also stuck his name on the C2C site and entered his time. Trust that's ok with everyone. Cheers, Paul

</td></tr></table> Watchout Chippy I am coming back and look forward to tipping you out of that boat.

Monmouth Comprehensive School had a 24hr row over Friday/Saturday and alongside this had guest teams rowing. We had a village team of 6 of us. I managed 10 mins at an average of 1.52/500m. Nothing like I was doing pre Christmas but felt good to be pushing it a little. I don't think I will find time for the challenge for a week or so but feeling good about my recovery. Most impressive was my 9 yearold daughter who managed 10Mins at around 3.00/500. PhilT

Brendin: Way to go! Now I've got to do this again to give you another target to shoot at.

I'm certain you'll be able to improve on that time between now and end of month. Regards ... Mark

Hi Brendin, brilliant row mate! As Tulky suggested a more even pace seems a better approach, I knocked 15 secs off my time earlier but nowhere near your pace. Cheers, Paul
