Over a quiet social drink one evening Chris Owen set the ball rolling – what eventuated from one person ended up 4 strapping lads taking on an INDOOR ROWING MARATHON - The training began and the date was set.
Kick off at 8.30 am – the team set up – little tables for their energy replacement drinks, camel backs and lots of towels to mop up the sweat not to mention their support from their family and friends.
They all had a goal of under 3 hours which they all achieved – I must admit I have never seen as much sweat in the gym as what I saw that morning.
Coming of the rower was a bit of a challenge – tight hamstrings and well those rear ends definitely got worked over – but wow what an achievement – they can all now say that they have done a marathon – on a rower – I am starting to sense after their post marathon celebrations their maybe another shot at it next year – watch this space…
Congratulations to Chris for getting them started and to all the men for their amazing row – and many thanks to Diva’s for been the place to get them talking and started….
