Nice milestone, well done. But with your age/height there is much more to come.

Well done Parky you look to be in pretty good shape....so would this be of any interest to you?

Don't you bloody kid yourself, Rod. :wink:

After 4 weeks in Cyprus and the most exercise I had was a walk to the bar, I managed to gain 20lbs. 12 of those came off during the first week back as it was all fluid, but now it's a struggle.

I'd like to come down to Newquay, but beer tokens are pretty low, but I'll see if I can come out to play. :wink:
Is there a link to the meet, or do I contact you?

Not done many 30' TTs, but felt I put enough effort in on this one and it's sufficiently well aligned with my other PBs (more than would be predicted by any 2 of 3 out of my 2k, 5k and 10k from the Free Spirits predictor) that I'm happy putting it here!

Thanks Anth - still a fair way away from that though I reckon!

Glenn certainly not planned - just what felt at the time the easiest way to keep the screen showing 1:55s and 1:56s!

@Gammmmo & bonefixer - I think that depends on how you define "soon" but hopefully it's not too far off. Sub 7 2k is my next aim. I suspect I could already hit that, but I'm not going to try till after another cycle of the Pete Plan.

@Rohan - nice 30mins!

Rohan has no height to speak of. But he sure has game for a lwgt! That is a big jump in pace for the bumpdown on rate. Strong back!
