Bill, Congratulations! You are ahead of us in the Nonathlon. I was waiting for that: I saw you did a 7:20.1 on the 2K , too. When was that? I suppose you can improve on the 6K and 30 min too? Tom

Hello Tom, [I saw you did a 7:20.1 on the 2K , too. When was that?] Tom -- 2k SB middle of last week 7:20.1 - didnt get too excited about it because am hoping to do much better at the race in October however at the moment its provided a handy boost to my nonathlon. Will have a go at all other distances before our next deadline - beginning of November. Yes ........ Godfried ...... Nonathlonned you - Bill

YAHOO!!! My first hour row of the season It got me over a million meters 14183 m. at 23 spm, avg 2:06.9 I can't rank it until Denah gives me some sort of code number because it's somewhere near the top, I think it might be #1 for 40--49 hv. women. TIME FOR SOME CHOCOLATE CAKE!!!! Carla

New PB only because it was my first attempt at the distance; 42,195 meters/ 202:10.2 minutes. YES, my first Marathon! I started too slow, finished too fast, and lost too much time in the middle to mental errors. Now that I know, I'll be doing some more.

IMO, I think you deserve a glob or two of ice cream as well!

Thanks, Mark! The goal was to hold 2:08, in order to hit 14K, but I couldn't seem to settle there. I checked, and when it's ranked it will be #1 in my class, beating the previous top rank by about 170 m. Ranked against all women--all ages & weights--it will be #4. But...just to stay humble...ranked with the lightweight guys (I'm 5'11, 170 lbs) it's only about the 50th percentile. A whole Ben & Jerry's pint for dinner tomorrow as my reward for reaching that first million!

Ted, Congratulations on your first marathon! Carla, Congrats on your half, and a very low rating too. Keep up the fine PB's everyone!

Dropped my 1k time from 3:56 to 3:48.1 @ 22spm w/chain on small cog Model B shutter closed

Travis-- That's cookin'! Carla

[old] John Rupp · Post by **[old] John Rupp** » September 23rd, 2004, 3:25 pm

Travis, Nice improvement on your PB. That's the equivalent of a ~210 drag factor on the model C or D. Putting the chain on the large sprocket will bring it to ~137 or so. You could fashion a damper ring on the side that would bring it lower than that.

[old] travisshue · Post by **[old] travisshue** » September 23rd, 2004, 8:03 pm

Yes I know its a high drag factor, Ive been running on the large cog but I cant seem to be able to put full power on the whole stroke(see resistance and catch thread) because there is slack at the catch. Changing to the small cog let me put power on the wheel all the way from catch to finish, and as a whole it was much smoother. Im new at this as if you couldnt tell from my atrocious times but Im workin. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
