Has Rob rowed a marathon or half marathon for time? He should do fairly well at both of these distance, but I didn't see him on the top page of either in the rankings. <br /><br />Paul Flack

Hi Ged,<br /><br />It is good to hear from you again.<br /><br />It would be nice to have a benchmark set by the World Fitness champion. I suspect that he would be able to do a half marathon around 1:10 and a marathon around 2:30. It would be nice to know how far off we are from "optimal" human performance.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Paul Flack

Hi Ged,<br /><br />Glad to see you are surviving and thriving. Never can tell about those that achieve stardom, it's probably just tough to see the "little people" from such great heights. <br /><br />Cheers!<br /><br />I like the pic on the Home Page, still smiling after the 10,000th rep and ready to change hands.

I done a one hour about ten years back covering just under 15 and half thousand, I could probably do quite a bit more than that, but I am listening to my body more these days in my training routines!!!<br /><br />I hope Rob will add his times to the topic in question.<br /><br />Cheers again Paul.<br />Ged.
