The Motivation: If not now, then when? Life is too short to stay inactive.
The Challenge: If you are not willing to suffer, then you shouldn't be racing
The Dream: Staying fit and feeling younger day by day!

Above: 2012 BIRC in Nottingham. Fun pre-race photo shot. What an amazing feeling to compete on my first ever IRC abroad. My dream came true, same for the race time with a PB.
My history
What a great event to be at! My first ever indoor rowing race abroad is something that will stay happily in my memory forever. An event that has motivated me to train harder and target higher expectations with more confidence.
My rowing background started at the beginning of 2009 when I was mainly using the indoor rower for general fitness and during winter time only. Soon though, I realised that the indoor rower, when utilised properly, can offer the best physical conditioning between other gym facilities, more than weight lifting or treadmill running can offer alone. On December of the same year I finished first on the Greek indoor rowing championship and set a new national record. It was that instance when I realised that indoor rowing matches my body shape well.
