Hope it's a straightforward break and so heals relatively quickly. I was so looking forward to reading about your impressions of Oz too. Have to cheer yourself up by reading about the magnificent Taff team achievements in 2005 and Pirate stories.<br><br>How's your one-legged erg technique (wooden-legged Pirate could help here) ?<br> <br>Keep smiling<br><br>Martin

Hopefully, it shouldn't be too long before you're back to full health as bones heal quickly in the young and fit.<br><br>Reading some of the earlier postings I guessed you were up North somewhere. <br><br>I'm glad to be going "home". I was born in Huddersfield, though I grew up in West Bromwich, hence my poor taste in football teams. I have family who still live in Yorkshire.<br><br>I'm looking forward to spending time up in the Lakes and I also have friends who live in Scotland. I hope to spend time there.<br><br>I'm sure I'll have the pleasure of meeting you at some stage.<br><br>Niall, I just read your mail. No, I'm not going to the company you mentioned. It's a company called Cattles which is a FTSE 250 company. Not quite in the same league as yours, but it suits me for what I want. Bytheway, if you think the first million was a tough battle, I hope you're ready for the next one. Battle is enjoined . <br><br>Bernard

Hey Carole,<br><br>What's the news on your gimpy gam? <br><br>What a lousy bit of bad luck when your season was going so great. It'll be hard but keep a stiff upper lip and start planning for your recovery and come back! You're such a tough competitor you'll be back with a vengeance as soon as that cast is off, I'm sure. Probably the hardest thing will be for you to channel your energies while you're on sabbatical.<br><br>Hang in there!<br><br>Carla<br><br>PS You didn't reply to my email...did you throw a brick through the monitor?

In fact Xeno Muller's training DVD has just such an exercise as a training tool. <br><br>If you don't have slides yet, this might be a good time to buy or borrow a set.<br><br>Best wishes for a speedy recovery young lady.<br><br>Rick

Hi Carole,<br><br>Can you do any rowing on wheels with a fixed seat such as rowbike with the seat locked, or better yet on an <a href='http://www.math.msu.edu/~drachman/cycle/irishmail.html' target='_blank'>Irish Mail</a> ? One of my children cruised around town on the Irish Mail when he broke his leg and had it in a cast. <br>I hope you recover quickly.<br><br>Byron <br>

Just thought I'd let you know that I have completed the Million Metre Rowing Challenge. Went through the Million Metre mark on the 28th December. <br><br>For those that are interested, my progress chart can be seen <a href='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v235/ ... Chart2.jpg' target='_blank'>here</a>.<br><br><img src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v235/ ... llenge.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /><br>For those that would like to donate money to the Sophie Clarke Trust, please email me. Unfortunately as a charity can't be registered if it's an individual I'm unable to utilise facilities such as www.justgiving.com for you to donate directly. The only options I have, therefore, are Paypal or cash (not ideal I know).<br><br>Anyway, please get in touch if you'd like to make a positive impact on Sophie's life.
