RE: XX Medio maratón de Almería 20th Almería half marathon
Bloody shame that MLCMMan is ruling himself out so soon. It could have been the single largest gathering of RC folk in the history of RC*. I need to poke Splodmeister to see if he plans on casting his formidable shadow over proceedings, though that might prove disastrous to the weak-willed amongst us, given that he is prone to sucking down a bathtub of rioja the night before the race.
There are more bodies lining up in the shadows. One or two Twittenistas have declared in interest. Moylebird may be up for it, too. I think we're going to need a bigger restaurant for Sunday ...
On that subject (jumps the gun and the shark in one deft move), whilst there will be no attempt at organisation on my part (once bitten, twice rabid) we perhaps should consider the one key element - the post-race meal. There will almost certainly be one or two Veggie/ Pescatarian folk in our number. A set/ fixed price menu (drinks included) with preselected veggie/ fish only options would be ideal. At this stage I'd say we're looking at a minimum head-count of 30 souls*.
Looking forward to this.
Andy, on the rowing stats front, where does resistance feature in the comparisons?
Is this in fact irrelevant (as in it's factored into the results) or could it be that one could row at a lower mark at a faster pace? Rowing could well be the answer when the last time you had stomach muscles some bloke in a mask and cape sliced them open like cheap baloney.
*Typically spurious Sweder stat plucked out of thin air, there
The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph
