The Charity Rowing Challenge (Sat 3rd December 2011) was a phenomenal success.

All participants put in 5 minute performances well beyond their previous bests.

The total distance covered in the 4 hours was 48,962m (well in excess of the 34,000m target).

Two notable contributors were Kieran who completed 7 rows totalling 8628m and Jake who (at the age of 12) broke his previous best by over 50m.

A total for the money raised is not yet known (2 sealed containers still to be counted) but there has been £486 donated to the Justgiving site & nearly £50 in an open container. Also, Paul K won the secret auction for the Sir Steve Redgrave signed photo with a very generous bid of £100. That's nearly £650 to date. Still hoping to hit the £1000 target.

Below are the stats for the 40 rows (summarising the start time, participant, distance covered, average pace and average stroke rate per minute).

Well done everyone.
