Notes

Britt put the idea out there recently, of doing a 60 minute row. As is usually the case with these suggestions (e.g. the casual question “how far is your office from Jacob’s Ladder?”) it lodged in my brain.

So today I inserted an extra gym session – warm up and then row for an hour while listening to Iron Maiden… I did it, I rowed just over 11km and it’s hard to believe that not so long ago, 500m was reasonably challenging!

Some good progress made in the past 12 weeks or so – long may it continue!
