Only four days remain… Today was the last day of training with my personal trainer and sponsor, Coach Janell. She has definitely gone above and beyond, and done everything she could to encourage, motivate me and prepare my body for the row. You have to understand, I’m not the best subject to work with… Now, the rest is up to me…

Janell not only dedicated her time and energy in support of this cause, but she also surprised me with a gift full of rowing essentials. Regardless of my stress or frustrations, she always had a positive outlook and very helpful feedback.

I also want to thank HiFi Fitness for providing the location to train. This is by far the most professional and well-kept gym I have ever been in.

It’s hard to believe that we are so close to the row…
