Woohoo, so its finally done. I managed a double crossing of Cook strait today in a single rowing scull (started at Makara on NI and to Perano Heads SI and back), 7 hours 25 mins. Work has also started on ramps etc for Rueben so its been a great week ... thank you everyone for your support x
check out these photos of Rueben trying out the boat I hope to row the Cook strait it, he's definitely a powerful little chap ... move over Mahe Drysdale
So they did it, the amazing 20-30s from ACTIV8 NORTHLAND bust the pants out of a world record and beat the 30+ youngies in a 100km erg race. Team 30+ can be gracious in defeat as we had Rueben as our cheering squad so it was a win-win situation from the beginning. Well done you amazing people, thank you to all those who turned up to support and to the gym members that baked some amazing treats ... and a big up to Rueben who rowed his first 1000m on the erg
The amazing personal trainers at Activ8 Northland here in Whangarei are going all out to support Rueben. They have organised two teams (age 20-30 and 30+) and are racing each other on indoor rowing machines to try to set world records for the 100km relay row. This takes place on 28th June 2014 from 11am onwards at Activ8 Northalnd at 16 Porowini Ave (the rowers will be 2/3 of the way through their 6-7 hour row by then). Come on down and cheer them on and sample some of the fun that will be laid on for you
