100k record-race report

[RabidDog]

Read it twice now as I find it enthralling ! Great achievement and great respect. I'd be real interested of anything you would do differently or what you think worked well - I'm doing a 24hr(pairs) in June.

and again...Congratulations (and good luck on your wedding day !)

[Citroen]

Not sure if its the done thing on the C2 forum but here goes.

No problems with your report of your excellent achievement. Can't wait for your next one - you'll have to have a go at the 24hr record.

Stones the size of Gibraltar.

MUCH respect; you earned about 50 beers for medicinal purposes....

Incredible achievement Hywel. Agree with Genki. Don't try this at home. Don't try it anywhere

[ginster]

that's just phenomoenal, Hywel... Top work, and well done for pushing through those barriers.. and inspiration for anyone who is feeling like handling down.

Very brave effort! pitty you fell apart after that break.

I have no doubt you will do it again and learn from this attempt.

Incredible stuff Hywel, not many people could havecarried on under those circumstances, even less at that pace. Awesome and congratulations.

Enjoy your wedding.

[Jef.]

That is one hell of a row!

[Oranj]

Fantastic Hywel! Brilliant effort, and the hard way to pace an endurance event for sure!

I read your account again this morning ... simply incredible. I also noticed the suunto logo at the bottom of the race screen photo and am afraid to ask what the EPOC on this session was

[DC]

I felt priveleged to read the report. Many congratulations...that is simply an incredible performance....I cant imagine how you found the strength to continue with 15k to go. AWESOME!

There are some sports where mere mortals can mix with the great and the good (well see them row off into the distance in this case!!) .

I have had the privelige of competing at a lowish level in one (Eventing, where i competed against Olyimpic and world class competitors) and now it seems i have found a second, IR.

I didnt realise just how good Hywell is in my naive, newbie world when he rowed off into the distance on one my evening rowing sessions

I wish you all the best for your wedding and look forward to rowing in your wake on rowpro in the not too distant future.

Well done.
