Have just watched the vid
Excellent stuff!
Amazing 1st 50k !!
Vid gives a real sense of the stuggle in the 2nd half.
Would probably get even more of a sense of it if there was sound on the vid (I couldn't get sound, myself)
Thought you might have upped the spm to 35spm for the last few strokes. I guess you really were tired not to manage that

Brilliant row Hywel. Well done on the world record.
Reading your blog about the first 5km row back in December and how 20 minutes seemed hard, it's amazing that you've got to where you are so quickly.
Best wishes for a great wedding day and happy marriage.
Regards,
Joe
