Boat 4 floats, managed to get Carol out of isolation to row in the garage, not a bad 259, i think she knows she can go a bit faster with all things girdered
And a fifth too thanks to Debbie - lets get one more at least. I have issued a challenge to my son - he has to beat his mother!
Given the unusual strength and composition in the roster, that longshot all lwt boat might be on the edge of possible.🤔

I've got two semi enthusiastic kids to add on as well, no chance of getting their mother on there though :)

New member Ilkka just casually knocked off a sub-7 hour 100K effort, in case you missed the thread elsewhere on the forum :o .

Great effort there, and as always more fun to read about the post-event debrief than to actually do it!

From description in training subforum, the execution didn’t sound casual. Choosing to do it a week after his 50k appears casual. Or maybe that points to absolute “stomping form” as Sean Yates used to say.

Also 60’ approaching 16km by Martin Stoeger and more to come.

well done Debbie - I sense a level of competitiveness is back. I suspect Martin will ensure that Verena sees this too!

You've passed the entrance exam, by tracking us down and saying hello!

Welcome on board. If you're up to sharing any interesting background stories, or just general things like your name and where you are in the world, that's useful to the rest of the team.

I was going to go dig up an old post about all the challenges, and relevant info for new people, but I think this is the motivation to write it down properly. I'll hopefully post something tomorrow morning.

Cheers
Dave

yes welcome Zac - a lot happening at the moment - hope you enjoy the ride. There is a very talented Aussie/Egyptian musician that shares your name (nearly) Joseph Tawadros.

Welcome Zak!

It's not often I actually do something I say I will, in the time frame first estimated, but here's a hot off the press first draft of our New Member's Guide.

Everyone is welcome to offer suggested additions, or provide useful forum links to add to the general section. I think I caught all the typos, but please point out any you find.

Thanks for adding the old yearbook, Doug. Great photo of Henry J. and of those present at the creation of “Forvm Flvers—since 1905.”
