Throughout life, we make mistakes, learn from them and (hopefully) never make the same mistakes again…

Team Force Atlantic have been together now for approximately 15-months and coupled with the Covid-19 environment we have all found ourselves in over the last year or so, the team have had plenty of time and opportunity to plan and prepare for our participation in the TWAC 2021.

Welcome back to my blog. So far, we have journeyed through ‘The Past, the Present and the Future’, Blackburn’s Quiz and Risk vs Reward (the importance of the Rehabilitation) and for my fourth blog, I hope to give you a glimpse of the team dynamics aboard an Ocean Rowing Boat.

When anyone announces that they are going to row an ocean, the first thought for most is of countless hours of training on an indoor rowing machine or ergometer (erg).

I’ve had mixed advice on whether it’s worth learning to river row before rowing an ocean. Some people said there’s no point because it’s so different to ocean rowing, and then others tell me to definitely learn because although it is different, there are still so many similarities.

Welcome back to my blog, so far, we have journeyed through ‘The Past, the Present and the Future’ and Blackburn’s Quiz and for my third blog, I hope to take you through a far more personal journey highlighting the importance of ‘Injury Rehabilitation’.

Everyone is scared of something. If they say that they aren’t then they’re lying. It could be something physical like an animal or object, or it could be a situation like falling or the dark.

How often do you get the chance to push the limits, do something this extraordinary and take part in something that most people wouldn't even dream of doing?

“The Past is the determined, the Present is the moment of ‘becoming’ when events become determined, and the Future is as-yet undetermined”.
