It has been a while since my last post (March 5th 2012).

Any of the old faces from 11 years ago still on here? I am back on the erg and loving it. Just had a full knee replacement so have taken the opportunity to help me get back to fitness.

Only a few sessions in, first target will be sub 20min 5000m.
Are you still going? :D
I'm gearing up for a fresh start, focusing mainly on the BikeErg, with the occasional row thrown into the mix.
Some of us are still missing your Sh*t Poems! :mrgreen:
:lol: :lol:
Oh maaan! Trust you to remember them!
Thank God the old forum no longer exists haha

Danmnnnnnn.... That profile picture is old!
It won't be just the picture that's getting old either. How are you keeping?
Rockyyyy…. I still tell people about how you used HR training to diagnose and save yourself. What a legend!
I’m good mate. As you say, much older.
I always said I would come back to C2 when my knees stopped working properly. Here we are…
That was over 16 years ago and still here to tell the tale :D

Been consistent the last few weeks, plodding away on the erg for an hour a day. Did an impromptu 5000m the other day.
1000m - 1:57.0
2000m - 1:56.1
3000m - 1:55.8
4000m - 1:55.3
5000m - 1:50.5

Time of 19:09.5 (1:54.9) r26

Felt far more relaxed and less effort required than the previous 5K's

Still on target of sub 19 by end of Jan 2024
1609m - 5:07.3, 2000m - 6:24.0
3000m - 9:58.4, 5000m - 17:03.7
6000m - 20:44.2, 10000m - 35:42.8
21097m - 1hr 17mins 28.2secs
