Concept2 News and Blog
It's been a fairly interesting week with regards to the trek! As my kit list was sent through the post, I am now the proud owner to most of the Arctic clothing I'll need (pictured in my last blog I think)- thermals, jumpers, fleeces, scarves to cover my face and a rather large fluffy hat which I must admit will probably be worn on a day to day basis as well.

102640m for Anita this week, 107040m for me.
Monday, Wednesday and Friday (We decided not to do Tuesday as planned due to neither of us feeling particularly well) were all 3 x 30' sessions.

Well, this has been quite a week of milestones, that's for sure. Following a 10 Km row on Monday morning, and a 10 Km run in the afternoon, I had just 10 Km remaining in order to complete my first challenge of 2100 Kms in 105 days.
Tuesday morning arrived, and as normal, I made my way to the gym on what was a cold, but dry six am. With so much distance behind me, I just wanted to finish so it w… Read full post
