superb effort.
Well done Carla,great row and points for the nonathlon

I still haven't done a marathon. Weak, so weak. Not fit to be anyone's wingman! I'll get it done soon though (I've said that for about 3 months, now ).

of tonight's charity marathon attempt for Tsunami appeal and I wake up this

do it though although please don't hold it against me when I do a slow time
tonight !!!
Fantastic job Carla. I'm willing to bet without the

Hi all
Mike, Martin sorry to hear about what's been happening to you and those closest to you.
Carla, great result with the marathon.
I've finally made the move to Leeds and have a week's holiday until I start on work on January 24.
Where I'm staying has both a squash court and a concept 2. Much joy! To celebrate I will join in the marathon fest and try to complete one on Saturday. I'll be able to do a few metres over the next few days, whilst looking for somewhere permanent to live.
Warnie, careful with the marathon effort, whilst being ill.

Thanks for the pats on the back, everyone!
Guess what...I'm NOT rowing today!
The only muscle soreness I have, surprisingly, is upper body. Legs are fine, but I'm sure if I tried to row today I would immediately regret it. Also, I obviously did not drink enough before/during the row because afterwards I had about 4 2 litre Nalgenes of water before I went to bed, still thirsty, and spent all night waking up and drinking. The 5th bottle was empty in the morning, and I was still thirsty.
I had had a double breakfast before the row, which I started a few hours after eating, and ate about 2000 cal. of pizza for dinner. By the time I went to bed I was starved again but too tired to go down stairs and do anything about it, so I was climbing the walls this morning.
I also should have worn gloves because I not only got blisters on top of all my regular callouses (which is OK), but developed 8 more huge blisters on places I've never had them before, mostly on the right hand.
Speedy, thanks for thinking I could go sub 3 without breaks, but the breaks were all less than a minute, (which would get me to 3:05 or 3:06) and I don't know if I could make it and not drink at all. Maybe if I used a camel back or something. As it was, I only stopped long enough to take a few quick gulps, the last one being really big and I saved it in my mouth and swallowed it over the next few strokes in bits. When you did your 2.5 hour marathon, did you stop? If you didn't , how did you stay hydrated?
Still excited just to realize I finally have made the goal of doing all 10 Nonathlon events--I've had this goal for 3 years!

Nonathlon event. Nice!
Hi guys ...... I did it
Not the best time in the world but I am so pleased and proud I did it, never ever thought I could achieve a marathon of any description in my life. Most importantly of all it was for charity.
First half was good and to plan, only 2 minutes slower than my HM pace but I hit the wall around the 2 hour mark for 15 minutes. The last 15 minutes was also a struggle and my cold started to kick in.
I managed to finish the last 1500 with a 2:04 split per 500 so delighted with that.
Final time was 3:17:20:8, like I said not the best and probably slowest amongst taffians but not bad for my first attempt.

IMHO , the first time is only to see if you can do it - the next time worry about time and performance.
Way to go, Warnie!
The best feeling is knowing that you just plain did it!!! You didn't back down and quit, you went the distance and on the marathon that is just a huge accomplishment. Next time you'll start out with the confidence already that you can make it, and be able to really work on pacing and the details.
Congratulations!
So....how do we do the sponsoring part?

I also decided to do a marathon this week and have just finished.
Like Warnie I hit a wall at just over 2 hours - it felt like my muscles had melted.
Although my time was pretty crappy (3:26:52) I'm just glad I was able to finish it. I really thought I was going to give up at about 10km to go, but I eventually made it.
Just think about how many extra Taff metres we've put on this week

Jasmine,
Congrats on your marathon,
2:26:52 for a marathon is NOT CRAPPY so either that was a typo, or you're superhuman! Right up there with Speedy & Xeno. I thnk the all time women's record is 2:50:18.6.
I don't know if I can get my marathon mug. The rules say you have to have a witness that writes down your meters at various times during the row. I was all alone when I did mine, so no witness. I sent an email to C2 saying I would send a photo of the monitor, but no one has answered it. Maybe I'll call. I could include a photo of my blisters as more evidence!
I'm going to go check our meters now and see how close we are to catching #4. We've added so many members, and all these marathons have got to be making a big difference (that is, as long as they don't take the place of regular maters, but are additional....I'm going to row today, but these hands are NOT going to like it).

Sorry Carla, was a typo. It was 3.26.
33,683m 2hours 42 mins.
Did have the intention of doing a full marathon, but in the end I decided it wasn't on. Mind you, after 10 days off over Xmas and New Year, followed by 6 days on, then another 7 days off, I guess getting on and doing a marathon straight off was a bit unlikely. At first I had a target of 3:10, then that fell to 3:15. By the time I called it quits, I was on a target of about 3:22 and I couldn't face another 40 minutes. I had to stop more than I wanted, too, because of the dog wanting to go out. =)
Oh, I didn't have anything to eat yet today apart from a bowl of cereal at 8am, so again not really the best preparation.
Still, it brings my total for the week to... um... 33,683m. =)

I did not want to be left out either so here we go......3:05:41 average pace 2.12..
Decided not to worry about pace just my h/r ..First half under 140 h/r second
half under 150 h/r except for the last 3k when i speeded up...The last 6k were hell
for me but i hung on.Had row pro on in the garage and must of counted the trees a thousand times,ended up counting the grass to pass the time.
Ilook more like a limp lettuce sandwich with the crusts cut of than a chip buttie,
but iam happy.
Sue ..Thanks for the smarty chocy bar it sure helped.

I had hoped to do mine Friday but Ive been fighting a
cold all weekend - still had it today, but enough is enough so did the big 'M'
anyway and finally broke the 3hr duck: 2:59:38.2
A couple of notes:
Point 1 - Ive seen questions on this forum about which is the toughest event - this is it, bar none! my B-U-T-T-O-C-K-S feel like barbara windsor has been pinching them for three hours!
Point 2 - Like Chippy I also did the FM on RowPro (but I also have SKY TV in garage). Just before halfway I swore I saw "Rob woz ere B4U" carved into the bark on one of the RowPro trees - I thought I was mistaken till I saw him clearly throwing stones from behind a bush!
Point 3 - Sundays Roast dinner will be ready in about 10 mins - who hoo, who hoo hoo!!

First thought was "That's not like Speedy to come in light on a challenge!". Having then read on and getting a clearer picture, that initial thought changed to "That's the Speedy we know and love, pushing the bar beyond anything the rest of us could comprehend!"

Breaking 3 hour s for a FM is AWESOME! I can't even comprehend that sort of performance (actually I can't even comprehend doing a FM in the first place actually!!).
Chippy's proved he doesn't need entertainment during FM rows to amuse himself, the pain does that for him!!
Rickster,
Great result in the Squash competition. It's trully been a great weekend for Taff Attack performances.
All,
Sorry I've been a bit quiet of late. I've had a repeat of that lower back pain I had back in September so am having a rest. Hopeing to get back on the seat at the end of the week.
Until then, I'll amuse myself by reviewing your great performances on the Taff Attack thread (and keeping an eye on how far we're pulling ahead of MIT; nealry a million metres right now!).
Hi all
Completed my first marathon on Saturday - 3hrs 20mins 41 secs. It didn't help that I had a whole group of rugby league players coming in and out of the small gym where the concept2 is housed.
Question for the Aussie taffs. Is rugby league the biggest sport in Australia? The guy who owns the place I'm staying in Leeds is called David Ward and was Great Britain rugby league captain in the late 70s, early 80s. He says it is and I say it is too, because I never argue with guys twice the size of me, but I suspect it isn't, especially as you have that Australian 'No-rules' football game.
Great achievements from all the other marathoners. I'm not going to do another one until the end of April when I'll try to go under 3.05.
Dwayne, you're awesome. Oh yes, init buttie?!

You are brave to already be speaking of your next marathon. It's been about 4 days since I did mine, and I've only just now found the thought of ever doing another one at all interesting.
We must be pretty far ahead of MIT now, with...how many? 7 Taff marathons in the last 5 days? Chippy, Chris, Speedy (well, more than a marathon for him), you, me, Jasmine, Warnie, .... did I miss anyone?
Yay Taffs!

Hey everyone--
Team Oarsome seems to be onto a fun sort of motivational idea. I'm not sure exactly how it works, but they have a team challenge, a different one every week, that they vote on to decide what it is. And then they all do it, and somehow there are points given, one chart for absolute performance and another chart done something like Nonathlon somehow.
It looks like it could be a fun thing to do, to have one workout a week be this challenge thing that we all try to accomplish.
Anyone interested in trying to do something like that? It looks like this week's Taff challenge was marathons.

I know a lot of you are following training routines and
are racing etc. I can only view all of you efforts and wonder can i ever achive
that. I did the most i have done today so far, i did 10,000 in 42.31 had a quick
drink and then did another 4,000 at a bit slower pace. I know compared to you
lot thats probably nothing but it is the most i have done so far. One of the
main reasons for this was that i couldnt get past 7,000 before without my bum
burning like hell. Firstly is that normal to get a burn like that ? it doesnt
come on now until about 9,000. So to get to the point i would like some sort of
challenge to get me more involved in competing against each other and i know i
would be at the lower end but it gives me something to work against.
So Carla count me in, Porky.
P.S. well done ricky boy, don be afraid but ems onny ewe mun.

Hey Porky,
I'm not following a proper training regimen at all, and I don't have the courage to race at a real race. Just thought it would be fun to have a community goal for each week!
I don't get a sore bum from rowing at all, don't use a pad, or padded shorts, but some people do and say it helps. I've heard some people use bubble wrap (on the seat, not their bum)!, C2 sells foam seat pads, and padded rowing shorts, and if I'm not mistaken, Byron Drachman (fellow Taff) uses some sort of an air mattress pad thing. Part of it is just getting used to the motion & the sitting, as you can see by the way the soreness has been starting for you after more meters now, but some people always need a pad. I know Mary Perrot, who is one of the best women rowers out there, uses a pad when she does a marathon.
Good luck, buttie!

Porky lad,
every one of us started as newbee. At some point in time all of us said to ourselves the same thing that you've stated above. 'Will I ever be able to?'. What ever that goal was. Whether it be staying on the beast long enough to make our bums ache, or just pulling 100m. Remember that the next time the question comes into your head. How you answer it, will be up to you.
FYI - The only time I really get that arse pain, is when I'm in a boat. And always the left side. Probably the way I set myself in the shell.
As far as the challenge goes, how's this.....between now and the end of the ranking season (30 April), add another 2 million meters to your total. That would average you out to 19,418 meters/day. You want the challenge???? Give it a shot mate.

I think it is normal. After each month of erging the pain comes later, so after a while it doesn't come at all.
10,000 in 42.31 is a nice time, just try to do that a few more times, remember to take a day off now and then, and you will be able to do a 10k without bum-pain.
Thankyou for all your replies, Carla, Godfried and
speedy. I work 12hhr shifts and it will be hard for me to take up your challenge
speedy, but its on, starting from tommorow the 18th that is my training . I hope
you worked out the metres from then. Thankyuo for you challenge,

| I know a lot of you are following training
routines and are racing etc. I can only view all of you efforts and wonder
can i ever achive that. I did the most i have done today so far, i did
10,000 in 42.31 had a quick drink and then did another 4,000 at a bit
slower pace. I know compared to you lot thats probably nothing but it is
the most i have done so far. One of the main reasons for this was that i
couldnt get past 7,000 before without my bum burning like hell. Firstly is
that normal to get a burn like that ? it doesnt come on now until about
9,000. So to get to the point i would like some sort of challenge to get
me more involved in competing against each other and i know i would be at
the lower end but it gives me something to work against. So Carla count me in, Porky. P.S. well done ricky boy, don be afraid but ems onny ewe mun. |
