I joined the forum when on my way to Sainsburys in April 2008 as there was a ride going to Southend...
Then I got a job at Sainsburys for the lols..
I still don’t take life much more seriously.

    This is the main reason for my recent order of one, my 2spd s-type is not enjoying chasing after the kids on bridleways and tracks, plus the expanded gear range will make it usable for solo rides when I get a pass on holiday too! I’m sure it’ll be fine tucked under up under my thankfully ground floor desk at work and I use trains at non peak times and don’t really ever have to fold it up…

    Sooo many good rides.

    Obviously the one I met the forum on a ride to Southend for fish and chips, was hungover and en route to sainos to buy some food! Resumed with water and some snacks en route by @cornelius_blackfoot and others…

    Otherwise… Cambridge was a great one cold macdonalds included from the original hip hop gangsta bike rider @briankwan as was the ride to Camber sands with @hippy rolling off the front at some point to be found sitting on a pub wall sipping on a pint… and @spagettihoops handing out some acrylic Lfgss cogs, one of which I still have on my fakenger bag!

    So damage from having December off is ~4kg, not surprised as that’s probably 2kg from low carb to all the carb and 2kg in many many Christmas parties and basically no exercise in the weeks of Christmas and new year…

    Feel like I’m back in the groove again already which is great, exercise and food all ticking away….

    Have also finally ordered the new treadmill I’ve been thinking about since August, when I confirmed my old one was buggered.. debating some upgrades to the home gym as well, but the relative cost vs joining the local pure gym membership I could take out is off putting…

    Right. I’m in. Earlier than September this year! Had a couple weeks off, time to refocus and go again!

    That is very impressive!

    I went run first, ski, row when I tried it, and did 19:50, 22:30 and 21:30, i suspect your ordering is possibly more optimal, just need to borrow a rower from my neighbour so I can try them back to back again.

    I think I’d pace myself to a 21min ski and make up the time in the others, despite having done a 19:46 a couple of weeks ago as it felt like I might start bleeding out of my eyeballs if I had to go much further at that pace!

    I did religiously for a period but struggled to see any correlation with how I felt/performed after ~4 months of monitoring so gave up paying any attention to it.

    My resting hr however has a really strong correlation to my “wellness feeling” alcohol boots it up, as does hard training the day before..

    Was it back to back? If so what was your order?

    I’ve managed all three sub 20, and definitely have most headroom in the run and it took 3 months of training for the ski while rowing it was done on the first proper go at it… back to back is a huge challenge!

    Was it someone in here talking about a 5k row, ski and run challenge?
