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 !)

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.

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

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

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 :lol:

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.

Glenn
