What a difference half an hour makes. The last time i graped the seat of my bike, my mothers heart attack from cancer happened within minuites after. I had move it about but because of the strong
association with that morning would not touch the seat. I realised that in order to make a difference and complete my aims i would have no other choice.
I set it up in my rowing club Coalporters on the static trainer and cycled for half an hour. It was good after and i felt such a release. I have started putting a diary of fundraising events im
attending this year, which include:
Row distance of Southampton to New York (5503.03km) On concept2 rowing machine (1st Jan to 9th August)
13th April London Marathon
Row around the Isle of Wight June 2008 (Weather dependent)
Evening Triathlon Dorney Lake Windsor (25th June)
Box end park longswim 3.8km swim 13th july
JP Morgam sail around island 28th June
UK Ironman 17th August 2008
Ride lands end to john o groats and back 6th Sept - 17th Sept
Rowers revenge october 2008
New York Marathon November
I spent half the Easter break rowing on the ferries, steadily covering my distance. I also managed to raise over £700. The running is finally improving, just in time for London. All good news as
Easter was another tough first to get out the way.
