Cheers, Chris. Oh, would like to welcome aboard 'Warnie' when he shows up! Born in Cardiff, lived in Oz, but realsied what he was missing and returned to work in Cardiff (!#@$!), didnt actually say where he was living now so for all I know he could be commuting back and forth!!!

Top night, last night was see! I was invited to take part in the 'Chepstow Christmas Concept Challenge' The Plan - 1000m flat out - (and you will be!) Chippy started first (after a quick ball adjustment), and smashed his 3:23 into 3:18.0 Me next, new PB of 3:14.1 Ramboyo up next, previous best of 3:48, started fast, pulled massive lead on pace boat, and DESPITE having to find the energy to hurl his false gnashers across the room with 200m to go, STILL smashed his best to finish in 3:41.8. Last but not least Blod went for a new 500m PB, with an expected pace of 2:10 ish - However heros abound as Blods variation of the wimp and groan brought her home with a new PB of 2:03.7 - Quality. Later on, Chippy showed as all his new trick as he jumped on the erg and pulled an impressive 1:16 max pull. The post about us erging in a pink wig, is just an unfounded lie and should be ignored! - its not like they photographic evidence or anything!

Congratulations on all the PBs - sounds like it was a good night for it! I think the Klingons have a saying for that. "Today is a good day to PB," I think it goes. Must try it again myself, soon.

Man that hurt! But: 21:58.5 Can I ask the coaches amounst us a question please? How do you gauge the pace of a set piece - tonite I rowed the complete row at the average pace needed - ie 1:50/500m. I normally row at 1 or two second under and pick up at halfway - whats the official skool of thought, coz im only learning like! On a serious note - take care with the recovery Mart, and dont do nothing DUMB over the next 12 hours - you are my motivation, and although Daren and Jim have joined the party, still my 2ND closest rival! - I want your recovery to be sweet mate so you can whoop me proper when the time comes!

Nothing like a bit of friendly rivalry to keep me motivated! Speaking of which- 21:58.5, Chris. Great row! Well done on all the PBs last night.

GREAT 6K PB Chris - very fitting you are the first Taff (Speedy excepted of course) to sub 22 a 6K what with your determination to overcome injuries etc. Well done old son and well deserved I have been eyeing off that 6K for a while but got 'distracted' by marathon training and more recently trying to hold down pole position in the local gym 2K challenge. Some young upstart went 6.59.9 the other day (on level 10 !) so I HAD to do a 6.58.7 yesterday - would have been much quicker but mindful of need to allow elbow to recover . Now thanks to James and you I have added 6K and 30 mins to the lenghtening 'must see about that' list Love the friendly comp and reading of your achievements - keep it coming (e.g. your 60 min looks .... ). As for pacing strategy, sounds good to me as you are always on top of the piece that way. I tend to go out a bit faster than PB pace, works well if feeling good but it can be a real struggle in the middle 3rd and result in an 'abort' sometimes So stick with what seems like a controlled 'PB almost guaranteed' strategy methinks. Congrats to the Fearsome Foursome on 4 PB's too. Chippy's 1:16 pull is Speedyesque-like and a 3:18 1K is a huge sub 3:20 leap - top stuff. Keep it coming boyos, Martin PS You easily win the award for the 'most posts in a row'. Only spoilsport Daren's stood between you and Guinness Book of Records immortality

Great way to pace it is to do a 5K as fast as you can.............then sprint the last 1000m so hard that your eyeballs fall out Well done again. Sir Pirate

You guys all sound like you are having so much fun actually getting to work out together, I'm jealous! I want my Taff attack shirt! Where do I send the money??? Martin, how can you be doing 2K pb's with a boo-boo on your arm? Hey Mike Jr! Great going on those meters. We Taffs aren't too proud to cash in on child labor! What song are you planying these days? Have you learned to play "E" with your 4th finger instead of an open string yet? Carla
