Solid starting point Jef.
I have been plugging away at the holiday challenge. Currently on 121,067 and aiming for 200k before the 25th. Need to average about 4,600m a day. Anything for a pin badge.
I had a crack at the C2CTC yesterday after 2 warm ups. It was very cold in the shed last night. This month was a 813m sprint.
Set off too fast and just about held on at the end. Possibly 13m too long for my liking.
Finished in 2:34.4, which averaged at 1:34.9/500.
It put me at 13th position on the c2ctc leader board, but I expect that many of the big guns were racing at the weekend and have yet to have a go.

Well done Jef that's an excellent TT after only a few weeks of low rate training, nicely paced too!
That's a very fast 813m Sinj it's a difficult distance to pace, it's a bit too far to treat it as a long 500.
Nice metres in the holiday challenge too, think I've averaged 6.5k so far (not helped by my first two days being blank) and need to average 7.5k for the remainder of the challenge, so it's doable.

Thanks Nellers, CW and sinj.
It would have got me 9th at BRIC and gets me 33rd on the ranking page for my old lightweight ass 😁.
Fancy competing again next year but need to be under 7 to have a chance of podium which is a major motivation.

7,822m for me tonight.
Just rounding it up to 140/200k so far.
Should have that last 60k knocked out by the weekend.

Nice one, sinj.
I was originally only targeting the 100K, but I’ve just noticed that I’m already on 70K, and that if I add a few more metres to each row and manage to hit 200K, that will also take me over the 2 million lifetime metres mark... Tempting!

Well done Sinj, you're munching up those holiday metres!
Go for it CW, if you can get a couple of long rows in it soon bumps your metres up! I've just reached halfway so 13 days to do 100k.

Hard longer intervals today. 4 x 2km on 5 min rest. Best for a fair few years so .. quite pleased.

That's a lot of meters at that pace, mate. Well done!
I managed 45 minutes yesterday and got just past 10k, which I was pleased with. Toying with pushing the boat out tomorrow and doing 50 minutes.
