So I go away for a few days and look what happens....relegated to the second boat. Well I have been dragging for the last 2 weeks, so it is time to take anouther crack at this. There have been some big rows since I was gone, and now I need to fight my way back on to the first boat. Can you hear me weazing in your ear Paul...yep thats right I coming for you! Ugh >1:48 is going to realy hurt!<br /><br />Great rows from the other Taffs!

But no promises. <br /> </td></tr></table><br /><br />I've been beaten, fair and square, by Adam Balogh (another new recruit). I will NOT be doing it again. Not for all the tea in China.<br /><br />Adam's new target of 7872 is too far away from 7766. <br /><br />I test drove my AIO - not with a HM, instead with a 4' sprint (1160m) which ranks as #2 and a 10K (4K+6K with a break).

Spectre - Sounds like a gauntlet being thrown down to me <br /><br />Good luck with it!!! I wasn't going to have another, go but if my place in boat 1 is under threat.....<br /><br />Just done my first row in my new AIO (3 x 20 mins - ave 1.51 @ 23 - just over 16k) felt like a real rower Surely just putting on an AIO has to be worth a couple of seconds in a race <br /><br />Wife and daughter are still laughing at me - I told them "If you've got it flaunt it" ..."Your hardly Linford Christie" came the reply....not a lot to add so I left it at that <br /><br />Only thing I need to sort out now is the VPL - do I go commando, go for the skimpy thong or the Bridget Jones big pants

Unless you have a tendency for wearing girl's pants that we need to be told about.

I go commando under my cycling shorts, and find that the cargo pockets on the legs are really handy for my spare inner tube and emergency tools. I think the DPM works too well, though, 'cause I swear half the car drivers can't see me.

Looked riduculous with a wasted thigh and leg brace. <br />I tried it on over the top of boxers, after my daughter enquired what all the strange lumps around the waste are it became clear it has to be commando. <br /><br /><br />Mrs T did her row today, she's been complaining about feeling tired for the rest of the day. She was gutted that it didn't improve the boats position but probably not going to go again. Next weeks challenge is to get her to register herself and then provide her own first hand experience. <br /><br /><br />Phil<br />

Scott and Paul are injured, so it's up to us. Here's a suggestion. Instead of going for more meters (which can look intimidating when you're doing this thing), go for lowering your average by 0.1 seconds. Which means taking it from a 1:59.6 to a 1:59.5. </td></tr></table> <br /><br />That's my usual approach but I think I've been aiming at too many 10th's faster. I was aiming for 1:59.0 and had the average down to 1:59.3 but just couldn't get past ~21 minutes.<br /><br />I'm resting the start of some sort of hamstring/inner knee ouchy thing and so have not rowed now for 3 days, hoping to manage another shot before the last day of the month. I might row tomorrow but if I feel it at all I'm getting off and cleaning the house or something because it doesn't feel like the sort of thing that gets better with work. I'm not sure if these 30@20's are doing me any favours. The 3 attempts I've done were all 30 min pbs so trying to improve it further is really a push...<br /><br />I know you can squeeze a few more meters out, Dwayne, hop into that phone both and put on your blue & red all in one--the one with the Red S on it!<br /><br />WE NEED TO RECRUIT SOME GOOD SPRINTER GIRLS FOR FEBRUARY I'm not going to produce a very good 300m I don't think!! the darn thing will be over before I get sorted out.
