Talking about things which seemed a good idea down the pub… As of 06:30 Friday morning, Nigel Gower has completed 803,000 metres in 6 days as part of his Million Metre attempt. Nigel apparently suffering like a good 'un now, but is pinning his hopes on a new hi-tech bum-pad. He's a fraction behind his schedule of a million in seven and a half days, but with a little overtime on Friday he hopes to catch up. All funds raised are going to support White Lodge Centre (Chertsey) for disabled kids and Weyfarers to provide rowing equipment for these kids to use, with 20,000 pounds the target in sight. Offers of help and support can be given to Nigel at sculler@fsmail.net while the details of his attempt are regularly updated at http://www.weybridge.rowing.org.ukThose of you for whom the call of an indoor rowing seat sings plaintively in your ear might want to be reminded that we're reaching the end of World Marathon Week (soon to be renamed World Snickers Week). The deadline if you want to take part in this is March 25th. For more information, nip to http://166.82.35.96/sranking/world_marathon/marathon_index.asp
