I've gone with the Long Haul as the most difficult (for me and the way I'm rowing right now), and I'm approaching half way.

Also on long haul. Over 1/3 through now, behind Mike but ahead of schedule.

I've just made the Long haul-31hrs 08 mins.

Hands are feeling it as I can't get on with rowing gloves !

Great news, Alan - well done!
I'm on 21hrs 57 mins
I *have* to row with gloves, and also with additional plasters on the main points of contact to avoid wear-and-tear.
And I'm currently using a stack of three different seat pads too!
But on the good side, I'm suffering far less attrition in terms of hands and seat soreness than I have done in the past.

Thanks Iain and Mike, I've actually got a blister on my left hand now to complement the callouses. As I am well padded in the posterior no need for seat pads 🤣!
