That's what I call getting an early start in more ways than one.

LOL!

Well, I did a 10K time trial today and set another personal best. Nothing world class, but I shaved 1:41.0 off my previous best rated 10k. My new time is 42:42.5 and I did it at the end of a long work day so I believe I can do much better under more ideal circumstances.

Great job John, it's always exciting to break a pb. I don't think I've done that in over a year, perhaps I need to start training a little harder myself and shoot for some of my own pb times.

[johnb]

Thanks Doug! Teams off to a nice start in the FTC, I always look at the average meters per member as my favorite stat, and we are always right near the top of that metric for teams with more than 50 members.

Hello all!

For The Fall Challenge please put me down for 60k. First 5k done this morning

Hey, Gary! Great to see you getting some wind in your sails! Knock 'em dead! (...And get some of that speed you were aiming for...)

[Izzzmeister]

I wish I could add more meters to the challenge, the team is rowing strong. Have to see a specialist tomorow for my foot. I have tried rowing with one leg, works ok but sweat is not pleasant in the air cast.

Brother Jim, your one-arm rowing, and now your one-leg rowing is keeping us all inspired! I think a lesser man would have been beat 5 or 10 years ago!
