Guys, I'd like to invite you to join my team. We're called Taff Attack, and are the best-turned-out team on the UK circuit (and beyond). With a name like "Taffy", you'd fit right in!

I heard you put on some weight. The way I heard it is that you gotta put your belt on with a boomerang!

Hey your no pipe cleaner fella.
What about you getting caught by cutoms last week? They said you were trying to smuggle Wolkswagons into the country!

I could cry - :cry: :cry:

Last week I put a big effort into the rugby test - 11:04.3. I didn't think I had much left but was determined to go under 11 mins come what may.

Last effort tonight due to holiday commitments so sat down, and worked out my paces. I wrote them on a piece of paper with a big black marker.

1000 @ 1:44
750 @ 1:42
500 @ 1:40
250 @ 1:40
750 @ 1:42
Total Time = 11:04, Obviously not right.

So I change the writting on the last 250 & 750 with the big black marker so they read:

250 @ 1:38
750 @ 1:40

Total time now = 11:00, right I thought, just need to go under each one by .1 of a sec and I'm home. Knew this would be though.

Did everything to the paper, and nearly passed out on the last 20m of the 750 - I was in confident mood. Until I read the report and found I'd rowed the 250 at 1:40 pace

NO!!! - 11:00.3

Splits:

1:44.0
1:41.9
1:40.0
1:39.4
1:39.8

I was well under the 250 is EASY!!!!
Doh, Doh, DOH!!! Stupid pen!

Chris, that's a tough break there fella!

You've still a few days left in the month so give it all you've got at the end of the week (give your body time to recover first!).
