I'm also finding it hard to do any decent rows after I do a 300m piece - feel very heavy limbed. Perhaps I'll leave the 300m for a few days and try to put in some distance instead.<br />Good luck with your attempts this week!<br />Go boat III!<br />Paul<br /> </td></tr></table><br /><br />Paul:<br /><br />I understand ... and feel/felt exactly the same way. It's the age thing I believe ... we need a bit more recovery after the explosive pieces.<br /><br />-- Mark<br /> </td></tr></table><br />Hi Mark, I think you were right! 2 days off and 0.6 secs off (54.9).<br />Marie - Welcome! I'm a newcomer to the Taffs as well and it's brilliant to be made so welcome.<br />Krysta - It's sweet that you thank that the AIO isn't flattering on you, but I'm afraid that you may be in a minority of one!<br />Where can I get a T shirt?

I'm going to take another crack next week, after my RowPro mile on Saturday. May even take Sunday off to be well rested.<br /><br /><b>I'd like a T shirt as well.

Marie,<br /><br />I'm sure Ontario is a fairly big village, but I just wondered - My uncle lives in Kingcardine - Anyway near. He's easy to spot, he got loads of motorbikes, walks with a limp, and says "Tidy' after everything.<br /><br />Tidy,<br />Chris

It is a beautiful spot, right on Lake Huron. I have never been there, but been on holiday close by.<br /><br />What does tidy mean? (Certainly not my *** DELETE - SPAM ***!)<br /><br />Marie

Better than my 1K tonight where I missed a PB by 0.2 secs (and I had a bad 200m in the middle where I couldn't hold the 1:44 pace).

Phil's comment "no matter what the time" caught my attention, so I PM'd Chris last night.<br /><br />He approved my application for membership despite the following information:<br /><br />1. A great grandfather of mine might possibly have come from Wales<br />2. I can't read the Taff forum without laughing<br />3. I wouldn't be caught dead or alive in a Taff AIO<br />4. My mileage for this season is 754,840<br />5. I tried the 300m for the first time tonight - 1:12.3. Nothing tremendous but it would put me in a boat. <br /><br />So now in addition to my goal to hit 2MM before the end of this season, I will work on getting my 300m time down. I don't think Krysta has to worry about me though.<br /><br />So we now have 4 full boats!<br /><br />Marie Armstrong (in Ontario)<br /> </td></tr></table><br /><br />Welcome aboard Marie. Good to have another Taff on this side of the pond. I think that makes seven of us now.<br /><br />Dwayne

I am getting p'o'd at this one! I hates it forever!!!<br /><br /><br />

Boat race?<br /><br />(Now that I know what one is ... thanks to my UK friends ... )

Currently staying with my brother and hoping to move into my own place on St David's Day (very patriotic!). Training has gone out the window and I've only done two road runs (3miles and 5 miles) and two failed rowing sessions in the last 10 days. <br /><br />Been very busy sorting out the split and how we're going to seperate the finances and property as well as arrangements for the kids. It has to be said though that the kids have been amazing and have adapted really well.<br /><br />I'm probably going to be a bit absent until I get myself settled in my flat (with Model D and Internet PC!).<br /><br />A very big welcome to all the new guys on the team. It's fantastic to see us lime-minded individuals joining in the fun! <br /><br />[Adopts Terminator voice] "I'll be back"
