    I'm mentally preparing myself for the next challenge soon after "Global Marathon" so I'll probably do at least 200K for the team challenge.

    Do what you can. I'm just hoping for a top 10 within our team :)

    looking ahead to the marathon challenge........
    I might try to do some 30km rows in prep, should help the world erg challenge as well. Main issue with 30km is time (I'm blocking out 2 hrs on the rower, blisters, bum ache etc)

    I've only done 1 full marathon, in may 2014. They are a big jump from the HM. With a HM, after 1 hr, you think, only 25-30 mins left. With a full marathon, after 1hr, you 2 hours left OMG!

    It would be nice to row a full marathon, concentrating on the time, and not just finishing it!

    This will be my first and last full marathon. Just looking to finish and use it as prep for my 1.5 mile open water swim with a few other MFP friends in July.

    I'm nowhere near a FM. Not going happen for a long while.

    i might get talked into a half some day...but a full marathon is far beyond the limits of what my attention span can take on the ol' C2. even with a 10k, i sometimes get that whiny "are we there yet?" voice in my head. :)

    Haha, I get that voice in my head all the time :) I can't wait to get back to just doing 5Ks.

    I've been able to muster up a HM. Couple times, actually. I actually don't even aspire to a FM. Really doesn't interest me at this point. I reserve the right to change the thought, but for now, it's definitely not something I'm trying to work towards.

    After this morning's 10K, I am really think about whether I will do it or for that matter, even do a HM. I have enough pins and downloadable certificates and there is nothing I really need to do over an 1hr. Maybe if there was a free t-shirt involved. Lot's of time remaining though, so we'll see.
