Team Bluesoup, consisting of 1 fat balding ex rower and 6
complete novices (2 of whom are part time) racked up an
impressive 1,025,941m in the Concept2 World Erg Challenge which finished
last night. A final push from Ben, Steve & Meg got us over the
line…but it was the team effort that set the foundations for such an impressive
finish. We’re 70th in the table, but if you look at the average meters per team
member we move up to 47th. Bam! We’re a transformed agency – we have calloused
hands (of which we’re proud), we chat 500m splits on a night out and we goad
each other into ridiculous challenges – Steve rowed a marathon on Saturday for
the hell of it! We’ve also uncovered a highly competitive streak. Competition
between Ben & Steve was fierce – with last minute rows being secretly
completed with just hours to go! A massive effort from all concerned – we’re now
gearing up for the Autumn Challenge. 2,000,000 meters perhaps?!
