FWIW The nameless one was in my login group as the 60-64s and 65-69s raced together. Thought after login he was warming up as there was 'like' a spinning wheel against his name (similar to rowpro) but I guess it wasn't the same. No surprise he did'nt race, turned up at BRIC once, saw him warm up and...

Hi all, popped in just because I received notification of next years virtual WIRC, thought I'd check out the chat :lol: Saw Glennuk mentioned me so thought I'd better say hi and I'm still alive :lol: Funny things happening to me at the moment, seemed to have found some mojo from somewhere. Not sure ...

Cheers Mike for watching. I only made the decision to compete around 3oc Saturday morning! Woke up around then and felt not too bad so dragged my body up to the velodrome. Glad I did :D Although Nigel Glover gave me a harder race than I really wanted. Not to fussed with the time as I know I'm in bet...

Got this from the British Rowing twitter account

Hi guy's n gals thought I'd pop in to say best of luck to all at BRIC tomorrow. I'm meant to be starting but have been fighting a cold all week and sitting here tonight I seem to be going downhill fast so if I'm not there tomorrow at least you'll know why. I'm all packed and ready to go and will mak...

Thought I'd pop in just to show I'm still alive. Motivation pretty low through the summer but managed to do something most days, finally managed in the last two weeks to keep with some sort of structured training so we'll see how it goes.

. Me - a journey to St Austell to knock out 2k. Hoping for 8:34 this time.

Best of luck TPK, I did have thoughts of going to St Austell myself but binned that idea a while back. Just not in 'the mood' to push myself atm

All the best to all of Sub 7 who are at the worlds today. Best of luck

... And some of us haven't quite given up hope regarding the 60-64 record either....

Amen to that (although I need some mojo from somewhere atm )

Yep definitely recommend this plan, I used it a few years back to take me under 17 mins and break the then 50-59 Mhwt BR.

I'd guess if you thought you were in line for a Master's WR you'd take advice, you'd learn all the WADA rules and not leave anything to chance. I don't think Dan Staite ever offered any plausible excuse for his EPO enhanced cycling and rowing performances. A naïve Google search: https://www.google....

That cyclist's excuse was contaminated meat (he ate a dodgy beef burger like Alberto Contador). Those sorts of excuse don't wash. He must have known the master's world record was up for grabs so why would he take a risk with possibly contaminated food. The guy was on the sauce and knew it. I know t...

FWIW At BRIC this year and last (if I remember correctly) there was a statement in the competitor handbook that all competitors could be subject to drug testing but I’m not aware of any actually happening. I do also seem to remember it was reported by ‘two pudding kid’ I think, (sorry TPK if it wasn...

Cheers for all the other congrats guys, appreciate it. Hopefully I can pick off the others I've targeted in the coming weeks

1:40.3 – 30 – 346 1:44.0 – 28 – 311 1:44.1 – 28 – 310 1:44.1 – 27 – 310 1:44.0 – 28 – 311 1:40.2 – 30 – 347 Congratulations. I know of "positive split" and "negative split". Looking at your numbers, I wonder if we should also start talking about "perfectly symmetrical split". Lol never really notic...
