Current Best Times?
59:04
It was my first time last year lol.
New Goal Time?
I'm hoping I can reach 55:00 or faster
Frequency?
I've only went 4 times last summer, So i think i'll double it to 8. Every 2 weeks I guess.
Tips for the newbs?
Do not take any breaks at all, just continue going up. Those breaks just make you so much more lazy afterwards.

Went up today, but major fail
accidentally resetting my watch somewhere in the first quarter. I was up there yesterday, hit a 42:30 so the times coming down, although today I was feeling even better and would guess somewhere in the high to 41s.
My tips for people really serious about dropping their time.
Biking. When I started consistently biking last year (22km to work every other day) my times just dropped. That and learning how to use my diaphragm to help me breath helped as well.

Rypien apparently holds the best time at 36 minutes....but i am not surprised that a heft majority of them will be done in less than 40 minutes.
