Past pain is my fuel
Over the past months people on the ferry have been wondering whether im plain crazy and also where i get my energy from. Basically part of the battle is being to use the pain from the past as a motivator. However there is a fine balance to doing so and it can turn against if your not careful.

We are rowing accross the Solent and around the Island
Ok so i don't have so far to go with the challenge on the rowng machine, under 5,000 km to go. This weekend provided a bit of break from riding on top of the Red Funnel ferries. In preperation to row around the Isle of Wight myself and some students are going to row at the Ryde/Shanklin regattas. This basically involves rowing 1000m in a coastal four doing a bouy turn and then racing back another 1000m. The fours are the same as those we will use to row around the Island in. Enduring the seas around means a couple of things including getting up close and personal with the fith most recognised landmark in the UK - the needles!
