One of my very lovely crew mates from the Dolphin Rowing Club got in touch with Portsmouth News.. and this article was the result:


I know it's a bit cheesy, but it's all true.


It's amazing how a significant challenge brings people together. There is no way that I'll be ready to row without the support of my wider team...

  • I've got my personal trainer, Indie Bornhoft (TrainwithIndie) who has been putting me and my incredible training buddy, Fran Blake (Sup4Life), through our paces each week at Chris Gordon's gym in Emsworth.

  • My erg training plan is courtesy of ocean rowing coach extraordinaire, Gus Barton, who will be rowing the Pacific while I navigate the UK!

  • My on water training is entirely thanks to the Dolphin Rowing club, who have been incredibly generous with their time, expertise, coffee and cake, since I first sat in a rowing boat in August 2019.

  • My family have been amazing, as always, especially my brother Ralph, and his wife Amy, who seem to feed me a lot these days :), and of course my parents, who have always supported my crazy schemes.

Training is going well. One month to go!

https://it.trustpilot.com/review/guida-casino-non-aams.com was open in another tab while I read this, and the bit about your crew mate contacting Portsmouth News on your own initiative made me smile, since the best local coverage usually comes from someone else believing in the story first. The lineup of people behind you, from Indie and Fran at the gym to the Dolphin club folks with their coffee and cake, says a lot about how a solo challenge is rarely solo at all. One month out, I'd guess the harbour sessions are doing as much for your head as your technique.

fnaf game keeps its mechanics simple while creating constant suspense. You won’t fight the animatronics directly; instead, survival depends on monitoring cameras, paying attention to sounds, and reacting at the right time.

Sophie’s rowing journey is a great example of how a huge personal challenge can bring people together. Her training, crew, family, and wider support network all played a part in helping her prepare for such an ambitious goal.

After all that rowing, it might be nice to stay on dry land with Scary Teacher 3D, where the biggest challenge is sneaking around without getting caught.
