How's the training going? That's the most frequently asked question we get It's at this point we think....do we launch into talking about the Physical training with weights or ergo, yoga, strength and conditioning. The mental preparation, the courses that Jooles has done, the first Aid course at sea that she will need to do again before going. The courses that Ian needs to do, the river rowing training or the 120 hrs minimum on the actual boat we need to qualify for the race. We could talk for hours about all of it and do!!
Mum to two girls aged 13 and 9, has lived her life either on or next to the water. She spent two years preparing for the 2020 TWAC but after several life changing events leading up to the race, the decision was made for her to postpone her adventure. Her previous rowing accolades over the last 13 years, coastal and ocean rowing experience, passion for life and inherent determination has made her the driving force and natural choice to lead the team on this epic adventure.
Dad to one teenage girl, who has spent 25 years performing in musical theatre and a natural when it comes to dancing. Known for his Salsa and Zumba classes. Ian's mini-adventures include OCR running, open water swimming, kayaking and 40 mile walks. Thoughts turned to ocean rowing after a close friend crossed the Pacific in a team of three. It is with the hope of inspiring his daughter and to show her anything is possible, Ian is taking on this most epic of adventures with Jooles.
