pages changing?

Post by Thor MW » December 3rd, 2015, 10:44 am

Anyone noticed if the various pages are changing? I have the link to our affiliate page. Sometimes I go and there is the column for the holiday challenge. Just now it isn’t there. On my main log page sometimes the comments column is there and other times no. Someone is messing with my mind. Ahhhhhhrg!!!!

I haven't had any issues viewing all the columns. If I'm viewing on my phone I might have to rotate it 90 degrees to see the last column.

Concept2 is making some small changes that have big impacts here and there. These generally resolve themselves in a few hours, or a few days....or sometimes never. Maybe they have a new intern who has been turned loose on their IT segment? I have asked them to let us know what they are changing, but I have doubts that they will share that information. Meanwhile...we keep working on gathering our meters!

Congratulations, Ben! Son number 3, Paul, served in the Marine Corps in the 1990s when hostilities were raging in Bosnia. Most of his last year he was an instructor on the range in Camp Pendleton teaching marine recruits how to shoot. You are joining an organization that means and lives its motto-- Semper Fidelis (Always Loyal). That kind of loyalty is increasingly rare, I am sorry to say. You are fortunate to be joining people who value it. Good luck and Semper Fi.

Fitness of some... or a tale of splits!

Post by Dave_H » December 4th, 2015, 4:30 am

So being an Aussie, and a formula one "enthusiast" (fanatic is too strong a term these days!); I naturally followed the career/ fortunes and misfortunes of Mark Webber. Apologies if many haven't heard of him, he retired from F1 at the end of 2013, and has since driven a factory Porsche hybrid in the World Endurance Championship (which with his two co-drivers they won this year). Think Le Mans 24 hour race etc. Anywhoo I digress.
At the end of the 2008 F1 season, Mark broke his leg riding a pushbike in his own multi-discipline 5 day cross country challenge race held in Tasmania. (The sort of thing Baz would get involved in - not sure if he ever did it?). What followed was several months of rehab following the insertion of rods and bolts into his leg - and straight from the pages of his auto-biography I grabbed this photo of him on a C2 during this period. The stats quoted blew me away! For ThorMW and any others using screen readers, at his peak he could pull a 1:53 average split for 10 kilometers, and a 2:03 for 25 kilometers - with a healing leg!!
HOWEVER...
I just checked the rankings on the C2 site, and the fastest time for the half marathon is 1:13:53.1 - and when I converted that to 500m splits, that is pulling around a 1:45 average... my body hurts just thinking about it!!! :o :o :o

Cheers,
Dave
