15 years ago today, 10 of our guys pushed themselves to new levels and set a 100k relay time that is still the benchmark of all age groups. 4:12:46 (1:15.8/500m) Here is some archive footage of a 10k relay test (1:15.6/500) done 5 weeks before the WR #concept2 @concept2

Jan 11th 2004. All out effort. The guys went through 25k at 1:14.9/500m and just held on to the finish! On top of the training, each team member helped raise money for NDCS with more than £8500 raised.
