Training

I've been spending hours on the rowing machine and out on the open sea. It's going to be tricky and the weather in the Channel won't be ideal. But my Burgashell boat is running nicely and I've done a fair bit of rowing before!

After the row, I'll be cycling 300 miles a day through France and Spain, so I'll need to keep moving for up to 20 hours a day. I've done long rides before, but nothing like this. I'll be delighted to get off that bike, but the swim isn't going to be easy either. The weather conditions in March aren't ideal and I'll already be a little tired when I start swimming!

Can I do it? I really think so, and when it gets tough my memories of Ethiopia will keep me going.
