On the 10th of September, Carole McNally set a new British record for the individual women's 100,000m row, a time of 7:55:59 just a couple of minutes inside Elaine Thorpe's mark of 7:58:14, which has stood since 2000. More importantly, Carole also raised over £1,500 for Manchester children's hospitals in the process.A delighted but sore Carole said after the row It's absolutely fantastic. Not bad for a fat, old broad eh? I'm so proud of myself, but I do have a sore bottom!Towards the end I had around 60 people cheering me on. It felt wonderful.Carole first took up indoor rowing in 2003 with the aim of keeping fit, but has been hooked ever since, winning silver in the 2004 Concept 2 European Open.
