Well done Godfried on the new P.B. your heartrate was so high at the end, is that safe or should i ask are you comfortable with it? Love the logo will have to have my wife download it for me, I am not a good computer person yet Daren love the song, I caught my son singing it while he was on the erg last night. He tried to act so cool after being caught on the erg , now he has permission, will have to sign him up to the team if he does some nice meters and sticks with it. Carla, He is on the Suzuki method book one being taught by the school he goes to. Practices every day what he has learned. I am so lucky to have him practice while I erg , makes the timego by soooo slowwwwwww Sue and Graham, did my best 60 min piece today wearing the dragon shirt with the anthem on the back. Next best time after it is washed. Keep piling those meters on. Mit is close and then on to third place. Mike

The first months erging I could not get it over 170 bpm without feeling uncomfortable ( scared ? ). The last months it has gone to 180 bpm and it feels better than the 170 bpm of the past. Today I slowed down a little at about 179 bpm to get the whole body used to it. At 1800m it went to 182 bpm - still feeling in control. In another post I saw GeorgeD doing a MHR test ( in my opinion not conforming to protocol - but that is beside the point here ) but I am still too afraid to do one. After 25 years doing almost nothing I think I should only do one in a medically controlled environment - maybe one day an expensive sports-medical test will be done. </div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td class='genmed'>QUOTE (Mikez @ Nov 13 2004, 12:11 AM)</td></tr><tr><td class='quote'>Love the logo will have to have my wife download it for me, I am not a good computer person yet  </td></tr></table> Just hover your mouse over the picture. Right-mouse-click and save-as should do it. If the picture you see has a big picture linked to it : use save-target-as. Just try it.

Awesome, Godfried! 14 second improvement--when was your old PB set? What do you mean by it's your lowest Nonathlon, +26? Mike--I feel for you--there is nothing quite as painful as listening to someone trying to learn to play the violin (just ask my family)--there are so many spots on the finger board that simply aren't notes at all! I hope you have the recordings that are available and that he listens to them frequently, that will help him a great deal. Martin, I am afraid to look and see how far ahead you are now...wahhhhhhh I will have to work on catching up to Robert first. Carla

Hey Ray, Great to see your meters climbing. What are your goals for this season? Let us know--it's so much more fun when you have the team behind you! I see from your profile that you are an archer. My son did a really cool thing last year in archery. We were camping near a large sand pit, and that's where we do archery because it's a safe spot. Well, he went off in the woods (about 1/4 mile maybe) where he couldn't see the sand pit through the trees, and then used his calculator and actually managed to come within a foot or so of a big X he had drawn in the sand. I was pretty impressed. I think he had to do something with the angle of the shot and the distance and I don't know what else. It was neat to stand (safely on the rim of the sand pit where he couldn't possibly hit us) and watch the arrow come in from nowhere and just about strike the target. Hope to see you on the forum soon. Carla

I just told ( Daren ) what the difference between the old and the new PB was. I have 10 Nonathlon scores - for the total the lowest doesn't count - now my lowest Nonathlon are the 500m ( 828 ) and the FM ( 836 ) - so when I improve the 500m by 20 points it gets included , the FM gets dropped - so my total rises only 12 points. When you have less then 10 Nonathlon scores each improvement gets full credit - when you have 10 Nonathlon scores only the lowest is treated as mentioned above.

Having done a similar (but not quite as impressive) improvement in my 2K PB this week I can certainly appreciate how you feel (great isn't it ). Well done and I'm sure a sub-7 isn't too far away!

Only my first 400m were faster so in the end I have 2.2 to spare. It feels great , but very tyring. And it felt like more was possible. I think it is time for you to do something about your 500m and 1000m.

Dwayne , now at 6,974,831 meters : 7,000,000 today ? BTW you did over 1/3 of team total of 20,499,548 ( just 566k after the 21,066,098 of "Massachusetts Institute of Technology" , after that it is a long way to "TEAM OARSOME IRC" at 27,080,531 ). Daren, they have a nice logo too : <img src='http://concept2.van-diepen.nl/to_taz_smaller.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /> : I like the frame around it.

Taffs, or onlookers As I now have rowpro up and running in the garage of grief, and I know at least one other member is rowing online - I have scheduled a trainning session for sunday morning 11AM GMT. Its a 5k row but I intend to interval as 6*250r500. - Anyone who makes it at this short notice I will see you there. All Welcome Cheers Chris

I want to try and work on my start pace as I go out too slow (but want to make sure there's still something left in the tank for the finish!). So I'll definitely be looking to improve my 500m and 1,000m times this week 'cause they're looking particularly sad against all my other times (and everyone elses for that matter! )

Anyway I'm going to 'sit' on this time for EVER, too hard to repeat Well done on the 1 Million mark, I've been waiting for your post on the occasion before sending congrats but looks like the memory is still too painful Have a great 5K'er Martin

a tiny winy PB today... 5K 20:33.2 (previous was 20:38.3) The goal was to hold 2:02.anything and I was doing very well until 649m to go and of all things I stopped and almost quit but after 10ish seconds, a drink and a nose blow I finished. If only I had not stopped it would have been probably around 20:22 and would have moved up about 4 spots in the rankings. tisk tisk. splits: 2:01.7 26 2:02.3 25 2:02.0 25 2:02.5 24 2:02.9 24 2:02.8 24 2:01.7 25 2:02.0 25 2:18.4 21 ugh! 1:56.9 26 it was worth 4 Nonathlon points, anyway! Next time, I will post my intentions and then I won't DARE stop! Carla

Well done Godfried and Carla on the new PBs. I tried to go for a new PB at 5k today as I'm sure I can beat my previous time as it's slower than my 30min pace but started way too fast and had to stop after 2k and I hate doing that! Will try again soon though. I'll blame having too many beers Friday night!
