I am thrilled to
say I have achieved my ten week goal of – rowing 45km in 50 minutes. I
completed the row in 44:15:08. I feel
over the ten weeks I have become more flexible, stronger and fitter in many
ways. When starting this ten week challenge I thought it was impossible to
achieve this goal as I could only last up to five minutes on the rower before
giving up. My friend Gina was rowing beside me and praised and encouraged me
throughout the challenge. She was a massive help as she is very knowledgeable
about rowing and knew what to say when I felt like giving up. I felt by not
looking at how many kilometres or metres I had to go, was good as I was doing
the best I could do as the time was making me stressed and frustrated therefore
making my technique poor. When I was thinking of other things, I seemed to pull
more and forget about how tired I really was. I still cannot believe I have
completed this challenge as I thought it was impossible for me. I guess nothing
is impossible when you put your mind to it and train for it.
