<span style='color:red'><span style='color:red'>WOW DAREN</span>!</span><br>Awesome improvement on your hour row! Almost 1K more!

Next those Brits will be saying that Roger Bannister was on roller blades. And of course they would've used a pencil. Got to be able to erase all them mistakes they make, right?<br><br>I see you've put another 1000m in the "Taffybank" Ray, good to have you on board! <br><br>When we get the shirts done, we all ought to send someone who is good at Photo Shop a photo of ourselves in the shirts and see if we can put them together in a team picture.<br><br>Carla<br><br><br><br>

I was going to move forward on the T-shirt front myself, but I gather the team leaders are on the case so I'll hang fire and see what transpires. BIRC is only 3 weeks away!<br><br>(Oh, my... getting nervous now)

Godfried, I've added your charts to my favorites. Here is a really dumb question. When you update them, will they be updated if I go to them from my favorites? (stop sniggering!!!!)<br><br>Carla

A personal observation. Since the beginning of this TA thread, we have had close to 1000 responses!!!! How wonderful is that?!!!!! Whether the response has been from a TA member or not, our founder (Bore da a.k.a. Chris) has really stumbled onto a good thing here. <br><br>A standing ovation from me to you Chris.<br><br>Speedy

I agree. I was approached to join a different team but I declined because this one feels good to me. A good mix of abilities, and a lot of support shown between members in this thread.<br><br>I'm happy to be in Taff Attack, even if I'm a fraudulent member, only allowed in once admission standards had fallen. =) Apparently, admission was a lot stricter when the team started out. I guess some standards have to be allowed to fall in the quest for metrage. <br><br>Say it loud, I'm (not actually) Welsh and I'm proud!

Great 60-mins result Daren. Your confidence must be sky high right now as those PBs just keep on tumbling. Sub 7-minute 2K at BIRC?<br><br>Just to let you know, I've just signed up for BIRC myself (better late than never!). I'm very much looking forward to seeing members of the team there aswell as Carole Mac and Sir Pirate!
