Congrats on the new PB for the 10k Rob.<br /><br />Sorry about missing Holly's row. I have added it as 1 kilometer immediately after your row. The waypoint date is marked as Nov 8 - Holly, but the sequence is with the Nov 12 rows. <br /><br />Keep on rowin', hosers, we are inching across Canada.<br /><br />Jim

I like the way you used selective focus. Did you use a macro lens at the largest aperture?<br /><br />Francois <br /> </td></tr></table><br />That was actually my 80-200 set at max focal length and yes, at max aperture.<br /><br />Welcome to the team BTW!<br /><br />Mark

Congrats to John on your marathon, that's a long haul! Same to you Rob on your 10K PB, that's a good improvement.<br /><br />This is a little late ... but this picture is typical of some of the countryside we would have travelled through in Western Manitoba in mid July.<br /><br /><img src='http://static.flickr.com/31/61987296_2c6fefc5d4_m.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />

Afternoon all,<br /><br />John: Apologies for missing your marathon post yesterday. Anyway, many congratulations it's a great acheivement.<br /><br />Jim: Thanks for updating the log with Holly's row, she'll be pleased when I tell her.<br /><br />Francois: Great swimming. I trained for a 5km pool swim a few years ago and I found it very tough.<br /><br />Today (13th Nov) 14.5km for me.<br /><br />500m warm-up, and then 14k @ my aspirational marathon pace 2:07/500m done at 70% of MHR (Only another 28km to go )<br /><br />Have a good day all.

5k for me today so far.<br /><br />One leg on the floor and one leg on the foot rest! That is a new milestone. The back seems to be slowly improving. I cant' get around without a cane or crutch yet though.<br /><br />I may try some more during Monday Night Football.<br /><br />Jim

<span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:blue'>Congratulations, Hosers!</span></span><br /><br />We made it to Ontario on Nov 14, 2005. It was only 6 days to cross Manitoba. We have left the prairies behind now and we are heading into Canadian Shield country.<br /><img src='http://www.libraries.uc.edu/libraries/d ... 62_jpg.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /><br /><br />The terrain is much more rugged, eh?<br /><br />It will be a long haul across Ontario, so keep those kilometers coming, everyone.<br /><br />Keep on rowin',<br /><br />Jim
