I've waddled my fat arse out for 35min run on the beach, so I've started-ish. Will see how fast it comes back and make a commitment mid August.

I did a 15km row this afternoon to remind myself how stupid accepting this challenge was

1:01:57

I was trying to keep a steady pace throughout b/c I suspect that will be the hardest thing to get right over a 3hr row. I didn't quite succeed, I accidentally went out slightly too fast in the first third and then unsurprisingly went slower in the last third

1st 5km ~20:20
2nd 5km ~20:40
3rd 5km ~21:00

Funnily enough with that row you're at the same stage as me sort of.  Just over a third of the way through the marathon.

It will be no mean feat to accomplish mate

Is you fat fat brother going to do it?......................  :happy:

[Kirwan]

Fat brother eh. Booooooo.

I did a series of 40min walks in Sydney to and from the course to see what would happen to my shins. Pain in my calves and cramps in my arches, I'm a looooong way away from being able to do anything.

Going for a run today on my proper shoes and see if I still have it.
