To give some context to the April CTC, it was suggested by Gary Curtis during a facebook discussion around three weeks ago. 'Gary Curtis How about this then 3 x 1721m 4 mins rest 5163 meters 3 April. 1721 Robert Walpole became the first Prime Minister of Britain.' A history lesson and a session all ...

As you may recall, I am doing "TokyRow" from my house to Japan in time for the Olympics and getting (50) people to take part in the CTC and other challenges was part of my goal. As it wra...
