Thanks! I am feeling better.
The hint was in the image selected for the playful numbers.
It's only a hint. Shhhhh.

I tied my HM PB from 12 years ago - 83:35.
I was very happy with that, although I may have pushed just that teeny bit harder if a knew I could have broken my previous one. (I hadn't checked ahead of time.)

That's very cool David, matching what you did 12 years ago. That either means you are in really good shape now or you were in really bad shape back then. Hmm.
Very nice job man.

Wow, blistering! So much for older and slower.
Congratulations! Not only on matching a 12 year old PB, but on that time in general. Puts you at #10 for 50-59 Lwt, and since the season is approaching the end, that is a meaningful ranking.
So, I guess if I see another 21,097 soon, I'll know you're looking for that teeny bit.

Now and then I try to beat my 100M best I did last July during the sprint challenge thang. It was 19.1 seconds. Ok so I take a crack at it this morning because waking up wasn’t painful enough.
First crack, 0:19.5, next, 0:19.2, Then I really gave it all I had. Alas, I could feel my power slipping after the first 15 second update I get from ErgData but maybe, just maybe it was enough? It was 0:19.1. Just the same as it was in July. I couldn’t quite do it. Man!!!!
I am obviously suffering from the David A PB Syndrome. Admittedly his results are far more dramatic but none the less it appears to be catching.

Welcome back, K2, from me too.
Such a treat to be greeted with this mass of shamrocks and pots of gold.
Where are my sunglasses?
And thank you for the thank-yous. It is quite a daunting task to try filling in for a legend.
Some work pressures got the better of me today.
Hope to catch a leprechaun napping tomorrow morning, so I can nab a pot o' gold.

Welcome back K2! Dan thanks for your dedication and keeping us all updated. Very much appreciated.

Qatar up date... It is raining and there is no drainage here. As rowing tonight water coming into my gym room. Not fun at all but got my meters in. 5 buckets of water mopped up - nice clean floors, look at the positive!

Happy rowing

Ed
