Just back from a bad injury which is going to take a long time to get back to full fitness. Need to take my time and be patient, which will be hard after last year. My distances & times will not be good for a long while but here goes for the long road to recovery.

Proud to be on board with the rest of the W.I.S.E. team. Target this year is 5M metres, but those cold winter mornings don't help with the motivation!!
Currently most of my rowing is in sub zero temperatures.. the times are rubbish so just trying to keep clocking the metres at the moment.

WISE........The Best Of British....
Hello everyone in the WISE team. Personally I have had a bad year with illness and injury and its frustrating not to be fit. This new season (07/08) I will have to abide by my own rule and drop from the team (I did not reach the 600k minimum). Of course I will keep checking on things, and if anyone wishes to contact me, you can email at bpwchile@hotmail.com
Good luck this season.

doing daily gym workouts, so my contributions this year will depend on what time and energy, if any, I have left for the C2. Hope they may increase as I get fitter.

Marathon plan now taking a back seat once more. Still getting in plenty of mileage but I can't really commit myself to the 5 rows a week required. I'm well on track to beat my previous best for a year (1.6 million)

Proud to say that I am now at least as fit as I have ever been, largely due to the Concept 2. Forced to give up running by history of injuries but no problems so far with the rowing. Determined not to go backwards before I hit 60. Currently averaging over 100K per month (and enjoying it!)

20/11/05 Been rowing seriously now for a year and just passed my first million and completed my first marathon. Not sure what the next challenge is .. perhaps work on getting my 2000 or 5000 times down or maybe loose some weight which was the original reason I starting rowing. Photo is off me at the end of my marathon, sweaty, tired, hurting and on the way to raising £1000 for charity.

Keep on Rowing.
Still hoping to beat the 7.00 minute 2k barrier, and 19.00 for 5k. And maybe this year grab a million season metres as well.
Keep Fit, Stay Healthy.

18 November 09 - Pleased to be back on the rower after a break of a few months. This morning's 30 minutes was a bit of struggle although I'll soon get used to the morning routine again. Should be able to do 20K most weeks.

Since suffering a knee injury whilst running the Bath Half Marathon in March 2005, I have taken to erging to keep up fitness levels.
I have become addicted to it!
I am now back to running with several Half Marathons and the Neolithic Marathon planned for 2006.
Erging is now a significant part of my training schedules as the cross-training exercise of choice.
I have recently been diagnosed with exercise-induced asthma and since using the medication have found my times reducing.
Proud to be asked to join the W.I.S.E. team, will definitely hit the 500,000 committment and hopefully another 100k on top.

4th place in 04 with 10.1M no idea how I managed that. Completed 15M at the end of 05. Poor season 06 just 200k ish. Just short of 1M for 07. 2M in 08. 1.7ishM in 2009. Wow, I've lost some weight. Down to 143.4Kg,(17/05/2009). Rowing and diabetes are both a pain in the ass. 20M completed 30/04/09.
