My challenge
was set down for the 26th of October but I decided to bring it
forward to the 24th. Leading up to the challenge a lot of people
were asking me how I thought I was going to go. I told them I thought I was
going to fail as this is genuinely what I thought was going to happen. I wasn’t
really nervous as I knew I only had myself to blame if I did fail. I went to
the gym early because I didn’t want anyone watching me struggle. I set the rowing
machine for 10km and got stuck in. I was feeling good, it felt easy keeping the
projected time around the 50 minute mark. It was really awesome to have Tash, at
the gym also doing her challenge and Megan as they were both really encouraging.
The first half took me around 26 minutes so I had a few minutes I needed to cut
off to do it in less than 55 minutes. At this point I was still feeling good so
I carried on picking up the pace slightly. I carried on
a steady pace working the kilometres down I reached 2 km to go and I know at
this point I could do it. For the last 2km i used everything i had left in my and went hard ti get if finished. I tried my very best to get home in 49 minutes but I just did not have enough fight left in me and the time stopped at 50 minutes and 53 seconds. I pretty much fell of the rower and just lay on the ground to catch my breath. I was so happy that I had achieved this in such a good time. I truly thought i was going to fail so i was stoked with completing it and achieving my goal.
Halfway point...So far so good
2km to go,
time to step it up
FINISHED!!!!!
