Holy cow!! Is everyone doing a marathon this weekend? I didn't get the memo. I'll do one tomorrow. Not for time mind you, but just because the peer pressure is so strong. That's right, I'm caving in!!!! Way to go Warnie and Jasmine. Good on ya!! Speedy

Sorry Carla, was a typo. It was 3.26.

33,683m 2hours 42 mins. Did have the intention of doing a full marathon, but in the end I decided it wasn't on. Mind you, after 10 days off over Xmas and New Year, followed by 6 days on, then another 7 days off, I guess getting on and doing a marathon straight off was a bit unlikely. At first I had a target of 3:10, then that fell to 3:15. By the time I called it quits, I was on a target of about 3:22 and I couldn't face another 40 minutes. I had to stop more than I wanted, too, because of the dog wanting to go out. =) Oh, I didn't have anything to eat yet today apart from a bowl of cereal at 8am, so again not really the best preparation. Still, it brings my total for the week to... um... 33,683m. =)

No way I'm ever going to do more than 60 minutes after such a long time off.

Decided not to worry about pace just my h/r ..First half under 140 h/r second half under 150 h/r except for the last 3k when i speeded up...The last 6k were hell for me but i hung on.Had row pro on in the garage and must of counted the trees a thousand times,ended up counting the grass to pass the time. Ilook more like a limp lettuce sandwich with the crusts cut of than a chip buttie, but iam happy. Sue ..Thanks for the smarty chocy bar it sure helped. Chippy

Great job Chippy, how could you row a whole marathon with just Row Pro. A movie makes the time go by much faster! I'd be totally excited with a time like that! Way to go Carla

I had hoped to do mine Friday but Ive been fighting a cold all weekend - still had it today, but enough is enough so did the big 'M' anyway and finally broke the 3hr duck: 2:59:38.2 A couple of notes: Point 1 - Ive seen questions on this forum about which is the toughest event - this is it, bar none! my B-U-T-T-O-C-K-S feel like barbara windsor has been pinching them for three hours! Point 2 - Like Chippy I also did the FM on RowPro (but I also have SKY TV in garage). Just before halfway I swore I saw "Rob woz ere B4U" carved into the bark on one of the RowPro trees - I thought I was mistaken till I saw him clearly throwing stones from behind a bush! Point 3 - Sundays Roast dinner will be ready in about 10 mins - who hoo, who hoo hoo!!

Chippy Well done on completing the 'big one'. Sounded painful when I was listening outside your garage door! Well done to all other Marathoners. I'm pleased with a PB for 10K - 38:30.9 (quicker by around 75 seconds) Dykie

Didn't do the FM. Sat down and did four hours instead. Got just over 53k in. Speedy

Holy Cow. The only thing I can do for 4 hours is sleep. Carla

Having then read on and getting a clearer picture, that initial thought changed to "That's the Speedy we know and love, pushing the bar beyond anything the rest of us could comprehend!" AWESOME buttie!
