However, I suspect it's as good as useless to you if not downright unhelpful! I haven't been on the rower since my session with Niall about 3 months ago so I managed to produce a woeful time of 33:18. Please feel free to use it or ignore it. (Had my VO2 max tested last week and that was an impressive 20 or 22 or something - they told me I was unfit). <br /><br />Will have another go as it can only get better  <br /> </td></tr></table><br /><br />Lynsey,<br />Time not important, just that you made the effort.<br />Taff 2nd's have a lady.

This is my 1000th post. What better place to put it, then in the TA thread.

Daren should spend more time on the erg. <br /><br />But I see he is not the only guy between the girls.

I checked my records, and it turns out to be a PB for me as well. Unfortunately, I have a PM2 at home, so I couldn't get a verification code. Sucks!!

But rest assured I am not going to let this one lie . I am away visiting the inlaws this weekend so taking a forced rest, I will just have to come back stronger.<br /><br /><br />I had a go at Jaunarys challenge yesterday, 30Mins at 20spm. 7930metres - average pace around 1.53. First time I have done a rate limted session, feeling it today. Can't wait until next month to see what others will do. <br /><br />Anyway next week will be focussed on getting Taff Attack back into 2nd or 3rd position.<br /><br />Superb effort Dwayne, puts you well ahead of some big rockstars, makes me proud to be part of Taff Attack.<br /><br /><br /><br />

GO TAFFS!!!!<br />Awesome job Paul & Dwayne!!<br /><br />Captain Speedy, check your email!

[[old] Lynsey]

Carla and Bore Da - thanks very much for the kind words and encouragement. <br /><br />Having looked at the league table it's obvious that any team with a very weak member is at a huge disadvantage and it's a disincentive to the other members to try to better their times by a few seconds when I can come along and slug the team average by minutes!<br /><br />I'll be having another try this afternoon but I aint promising miracles!<br /><br />(By the way Carla, did you get my email a few days ago?)

[[old] blod]

Well Taffs Blod and I just had a crack at the 6k challenge,results are:-<br /> Blod 30-26 a really gutsy effort!!!<br /> Ramboyo 24-44 a new P.B. by 36 secs.<br /> Off now to the Cherry Tree Inn to sample a few pints of the amber nectar.<br /> Da bo

[[old] Bore Da!]

Great Effort Blod, Pushes Lynsey into the Taff Attack 3rd team!<br />Suggest Ramboyo's was also a gutsy effort. Great PB mate.<br />
