Just been catching up on the latest Taff Attack team standings:<br /><br />- Well done to Chippy for breaking the 2 Million Metre mark for the season (lost patience waiting for Chris did you??)<br />- Big nod to MikeZ for overtaking Jasmine into second place. I think you've left it to late for a charge towards first place though. The smart money's still on Speedy!!<br />- Talking of smart money, Martin's streaked ahead of Carla in the distance stakes but I'm sure Carla wont mind as she's had some storming PBs of late (small sacrifice Carla!)<br />- Daren sliding down the leaderboard and I would strongly suspect he'll lose another place before the end of the season (to Godfried)<br /><br />Well done to everyone!<br /><br />P.S. I've started back this week (gently) so have been contributing some token metres

Hey Niall, good you're back on board!<br /><br />I'm a little under the weather so I'm not rowing so I'll recover faster. Hope to get back on the erg next week for general fitness, but with a tough concert May 1 (Brahms and Prokofiev, ouch) don't know if I'll do much before the season ends...definitely not any marathons or HMs.<br /><br />It's been really great being on this team and I hate to fade off like this right at the end when it's our last chance to gain those meters! You guys are doing great. <br /><br />

Hi all<br /><br /><br /><br />Just completed my second half marathon of the weekend. I hope to complete a marathon on April 30, so this effort should leave me in good shape. <br /><br />I should be ready for the long preparation for BIRC 2005 then!!<br /><br />Hope all is well with everyone.<br /><br />Prufrock

Debra's definitely got that 2Million marker clear in her sights. 35K for this week should be find (just gotta keep those kids amused!).<br /><br />Many congratulations Speedy for blasting through the 14Million mark for the season. "Awesome" just doesn't seem to do you justice!<br /><br />The best I can hope for I think is a grand total of 1,730,000 <br />

How proud was i when I read recently that Eddie had received five entries for the Evesham Golden Mile Event (9th July) and all entries were from Taff Attack!!<br /><br />Read about it <a href='http://www.concept2.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7416' target='_blank'>here.</a><br /><br />Nice one guys!! It's always great to see the team name in dispatches!<br /><br />I'll be getting my application in soon and hope to be competing as a Lwt for the first time !

Well it almost brings a tear to my eye to see that the close of this season looks like Bernard and I (as ever) will be battling it out for 9th place in the Team Standings. At the end of last year we had a very competitive time of it with the lead changing hands almost on a daily basis.<br /><br />It only seems fitting therefore that the 2004/2005 season should end in a similar fashion.<br /><br />Currently I'm a mere 5,500m ahead so let's see how this progresses.<br /><br /><a href='http://www.concept2.com/sranking03/chal ... aff+Attack"' target='_blank'>Here's a link to the Team Standings</a>

Took a day off rowing today but will be back tomorrow morning, bright and early.<br /><br />You're strong Niall, I thought you had finished for the year but you still insist on making me work til the very end. I'm even more determined to do the marathon on Saturday.<br /><br />On a more serious note I think this happy band of ergers should congratulate themselves on providing a mutually supportive, entertaining and inspiring year. Being part of this has made feel that I am not alone in wanting to pull a chain just because it is good fun and, yes, healthy.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to next year's erging with enthusiasm and not trepidation as a result of knowing the Taff Attack crew.<br /><br />Prufrock
