I’ve been doing 2-hour sessions on the rowing machine as standard for a while now. Always pushing a little harder and aiming to go further.

Earlier this month, I broke the 28km barrier, celebrated with a beer and set a new target of 28.5km. Now I’m on 29km, so I think another beer is in order 🍻

The Atlantic will require a lot more than two hours of rowing, but it’s satisfying to see the numbers gradually moving in the right direction.

29.5km next?

I watched this film “Row of Life” recently and was captivated. It’s the story of Angela Madsen, a Marine Corps veteran, Paralympian, and record-breaking ocean rower who, at 60, sets out on a solo, unsupported 2,500-mile journey across the Pacific Ocean from Los Angeles to Honolulu.

Watching her is incredibly inspiring. I won’t spoil the ending for you. You need to watch it yourself!

If you want something to inspire you, go to https://rowoflifefilm.com and pay a mere $5 to rent it. It will be money well spent!

Angela Madsen - you have inspired so many to do so much, and will continue to do so.
