David goes for ‘Gold’

July 16th, 2007

Saturday 14th July saw David Lynes from Team DevOcean, show off his fitness levels, as he took part in the 2007 Evesham Golden Mile…

The annual event held at Evesham Rowing Club, can be a tough event for everyone, trying to achieve the best time to row against others for a distance of 1 mile.

The Team’s boat was on show, and attracted a number of people to stop and ask questions. The Observer Newspapers were there also, for a photo shoot ready for the Team’s press release.

David was in the last heat of the day, aptly called ‘The Clash of the Titans’ by the commentator, but it did not deter David from giving his all. Steve Redgewell, fellow Team member, coached David through the race, which saw him keep third place for the first third of the overall distance. He came up against some tough competition though, with the some of the fastest men on the circuit. He finished with a respectable time of 5 minutes 20.5 seconds, smashing his personal best from last year of 5 mins 53 secs! Truly an amazing time, even by Steve’s standards!
