Hi Guys,
Hope you've all had a good weekend and enjoying the sunshine!?
I had another hetic one, on Saturday I was in a boatrace in Shipley. I was asked to be part of a team for West Yorkshire Fire Service, now like many things I thought that sounds a laugh and put my name down without actually realising what was involved!
So Saturday morning we all met at the Fire Station and walked down to the event where it was taking place. We hade been thrown together as a team and not had any practice. Now I think we had all underestimated how big an event it was, there were 45 teams taking part and included some semi professional rowers and teams from the Army and Police.
Now it was a full day event where we had three races each and then your fastest time went on the leader board, now our times were pretty quick so we then started to get competitive..........team talks and tatics started happening! There was also a one off race with the Police, Army & Fire Service and we won whaoooo! Anyway we made it to the top three out of all the teams so we made it to the final!!! It was soooo exciting as I have never done anything like this before.
So there we are setting off for the final and we crashed with another boat, anyway luckily for us the rules stated that if it effects the race then we have a rematch. So off we went again and we won!!! Wahooo it was so exciting!
Now this was a team that was thrown together overnight and we beat some semi professional teams! Now I was on a team with a group of people who have to keep fit for their jobs, however, we had no prior experience, no practice and no idea what to expect. However sheer determination and team spirit got us through and made us winners!
Its the same when it comes to health and fitness, you don't have to know everything or even have to have had prior experience, all you need is motivation and determination to win your very own race. Our group sessions provide the team spirit as we are all there to encourage and motivate each other. So if you want to be your very own winner then click one of the links below.
