Thanks. =)

What resolution do you use? I've used Flash for the logo, so it's easy to scale up and down. I could do you a nice large version, with your preferred background colour.

Not sure of the resolution, but figured it out. Looks great on the desktop.

Just wanted to say again that this logo kicks a**!!!

1000m, 120 strokes, DPS 8.33, SPM 35.6, 355.65W, SPI 9.99

13 more Nonathlon points, to keep Godfried looking over his shoulder. =)

Shit - someone caught me!

I did it at L5 ( D150 ). I started with a ( 5 mins 1240m ) warmup at L7 ( D180 ) and hated it.
Tried again at L5 ( D150 ) ( 5 mins 1157m ) and that was better.

That must be related to all my long lows at L5 the last weeks, so the 1k was done at D150.

Yep - now one for each member including his / her name.

What I see is click for screen. Click on "post" in the right-hand-top-corner and the original post should be displayed in the second part of the next screen. If that doesn't work you can also type

( replace the { } by [ ] to make it work )

Like this? See? I can be taught! Many thanks Godfried, much appreciated.

Holy crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers Dwayne!

Daren - That's one quality logo

Going to see Wales v Romania tomorrow too. I have changed my avatar in support until next week when they beat New Zealand

Dynamite! Heart of a dragon, right there!

Great row to knock 28 seconds of your 5k time.We will work on your 2k time next,ill have to bring Chris to your flat to shout in your ear,it works for me.

Chris was going to give the details of our 700 meter race to the million meter line
but he must still be crying out there.

Darren
Really like the logo,talk to you at the B.I.R.C about ideas Chris and i have for kitting out the team.

Got my big white letter for the B.I.R.C today,so did Grumpy and Eddy who will be racing for the team again.Computers frighten Eddy to death so he is happy to race for us now and again but thats all.He also has the misfortune of having a Surname
of Eng-sh (terrible for a taff) so he lives under ground to hide the shame and only comes out after dark.

Chippy.

I only got 12 points yesterday.

Added average points to TAFF midfield and that is very close for Chris and Daren , also for RobertP and Niall.

Funny to see the zigs and zags at 500 1000 2000 5000 meters.

So for now I will stick to official Nonathlon totals - still above you there!

Great stuff Daren A group called the 'The Seekers' made that song a huge hit over here (and elsewhere ?) in the late 60's (?) - I loved it then and your rendition brings back fond memories of that 'folk song' era. Here is another verse :-

# Taff the mighty Dragon, erging merr-i-lee
# Stri-i-ving to do his (her) best and set a new PB
# Alo-o-ong come some Oreful chaps from another team
# Try-y-ing to steal his (her) erg a-and flee the scene !

Other suitable verses can be added by our creative Taffers along the lines of 'scorching them with fiery breath' etc Carla can lead the Taff choir.

As for your 1K PB - fantastic. My 1K time is virtually the same as yours yet my 2K is 6:55 so that sub 7 has to fall VERY soon - once you row it so that there is something left in the tank for the last 500m !!! Great rowing Daren.

And great PB too Graham. 2:01 pace for a 5K must be a HUGE improvement on when you first started ? And that psychological barrier of holding sub 2:00 pace is soon to be broken it seems.

Niall - I like the sound of your 'last row Thursday then rest for BIRC' strategy - you want to be jumping out of your skin and raring to go at BIRC with NO leg soreness in my opinion ! Looking forward to your next post - remember not every 2K 'race' piece over the next week has to be a PB, just try to 'groove' your race plan. And maybe cut down on the 10k'ers a bit, focus is 2K !!!!!

Off to the gym now to draw that white line a bit further along

Martin

No, its 1 AM and Im sat at my poxy desk in poxy work reading up. Knackered but logog cheered me up - Denzil (suggestion) has real character!

Other welsh names:

Derwyn (from the oak tree)
Daere (welsh meaning friend)
Aneurin (welsh meaning man of honour)
Caddock (battle sharp, war-ready)
Cadmon (warrior)
Cadwaladyr (battle leader)
Ccri (Loved one)
Dilys (genuine)
Gruffyn (freared lord)
Gwallter (strong fighter)

Goodnight All

This is what my Team Standings say right now. Is that right? I didn't think you were that far behind Martin???? Or have I just not been paying attention?

What's Welsh for "Kicks butt"?

Right on the money old friend ! While Carla's been 'fiddling' away on the violin I've erged off into the sunset She'll catch up when I go to Queensland to visit family next weekend for a couple of weeks - too hot/humid up there for serious erging !

Martin

How's about 'Dilys Gwallter'? Or 'Dilys Cadmon'?

Hi Carla



When I mention race pace I am referring to my 2k race pace, which for me is about 1'48"-1'50"/500m at the moment. Hopefully I can bring that down a little this time next year.

I don't think it's that tough, if the truth is told, I find the longer rows at a challenging pace - say going for a pb - tough. I'm looking forward to doing a few of those longer pb rows after BIRC.

6:55.2

Well said my Dutch friend !!



Martin

Heartrate was high.

The first months erging I could not get it over 170 bpm without feeling uncomfortable ( scared ? ).
The last months it has gone to 180 bpm and it feels better than the 170 bpm of the past.

Today I slowed down a little at about 179 bpm to get the whole body used to it. At 1800m it went to 182 bpm - still feeling in control.

In another post I saw GeorgeD doing a MHR test ( in my opinion not conforming to protocol - but that is beside the point here ) but I am still too afraid to do one. After 25 years doing almost nothing I think I should only do one in a medically controlled environment - maybe one day an expensive sports-medical test will be done.

Just hover your mouse over the picture. Right-mouse-click and save-as should do it. If the picture you see has a big picture linked to it : use save-target-as. Just try it.
