Triathlon success!

John was "rowed" on dry land by the Centre's equipment for 6.8 kilometres, the same distance as the annual University Boat Race.
John completed the course in about an hour, taking about three times as long as the University crews usually need.

John's philosophical comment was that he did not have seven rowing companions, so he was pleased to have been able to 'row' so far and complete the course distance with the Centre's equipment having done nearly all the work. There was no perspiration and no Thames water in sight; a dry run?

In his attempt to use the Centre's seated climber to do the equivalent of 'climbing' the 2,722 ft high Burj Khalif, the world's highest building, John needed just 40 minutes, assisted by the Centre's seated climber, which compares well to the record holder who climbed the outside of the said building in six hours.
John was quick to agree that despite being helped to 'climb' so far, he did not have to battle against any prevailing wind and he had not experienced any vertigo because he was never more than four feet off the ground. But he felt totally exhilarated at having 'climbed' to such a dizzy height; all due to the Centre's power-assisted equipment. How else could he have got even close?

John celebrates completion of his fund raising power-assisted 'final stage of the Tour de France 2019'. In the real event the winner completed the stage in half the time, but John was delighted just to finish his 128km cycling challenge in one piece!
