Or when you finish rep 3 of a 4 x 2k thinking "there is noway I even want to start the final rep", but you have to, because otherwise people will know.

How's life in Birmingham going? Are your wife and daughter still away, or back now? How are they liking it here?

I can pop to Farnboro for tea next Wednesday. I'll be on the way to Luton to pick them up from the airport [18:20]. Took annual leave for the whole day.

ps RobS ltw did nice sesh today. 4x2k [7:04, 7:03, 7:03 and 7:02 as far as i remember]. He's enthusiastic again about training. Great coaching, Pete.

Farnborough is nowhere near the route from B'ham to Luton though - glad you're getting them back for Valentines day, do you have something good planned? We're off to Munich on Thursday early.

Rob is an awesome athlete, he just needs his potential focussed in a way to match his mentality.

Can they just put the forum on another server or something so that it's not connected to the main website? Only good for them if the forum does contribute to the website crashing.
It's entirely possible for them to move it. That would protect the shop which, presumably, makes money. How about http://www.c2forum.co.uk anyone?

You can even play with mod_rewrite (in Apache) to make http://concept2.co.uk/forum automagically redirect to a new server.

I know it's off the way. Hmm...I think you are right. Too much driving as for one day. Well...some other time then. Maybe on our [mine, Rob's & MattW's] way back from Southampton on 16th.

Good plan covers not just physical preparation, but also mental. Good coach knows how to get most of his athlete. His previous plan lacked this big time unfortunately.

We'll still be in Munich on 16th (hopefully I'll be racing there the same day), so will have to be some other time.
