  Speaker 3: We live in Saltwood and we run a business, Rainer Group,
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: which we've run from the beginning since twenty two years ago.
• 2:40

  Speaker 2: So it's yeah, very busy, excellently right, thank you.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: So okay, now we're going to switch to you, Emma,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: tell us a bit about yourself.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: Emma, Hi, Kevin, thank you. Yes, my name is Emma,
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: Emma Lloyd. I'm a mum of one and a busy
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: mum of one. I have a full time job which
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: keeps me out of mischief most of the time. And yeah,
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: just a very busy little life really. So yeah, good excellent.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: Allison's your turn.
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: Can you come good afternoon, Alison Carney. I'm a senior
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: lecturer at Canterbury christ Church University, mum to Alastair and Lewis,
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: and wife to Paul.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Right, excellent, so there we go. So we know all
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: about you now. So now then this Atlantic Angel. So
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: how did it all begin? Was it like one afternoon
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: up the pub or was it something that you've been
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: planning for ages Charlotte.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Well not really.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: I think how it first came about about was in
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: twenty three and I'm quite a runner and like doing
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: events and things like that, and then I tore my
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: hamstring in a rough runner and from there I was like, well,
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: what am I going to do now? I can't run?
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: And for me I need I need running, I need
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: my fitness just to take me away and escape from
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: everyday life. So it was from there that I then
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: thought what am I going to do?
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: You know?
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: And I needed some sport that was non weight bearing.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: So Ricky, my husband, who is he loves his rowing
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: and he's always tried to get me onto a concept
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: to rower. He said, well, why don't you do some rowing?
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: So I thought, right, I take up some rowing, but
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: I need to do sport with other people. I can't
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: do things on my own, and especially concept two rowing,
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: it's quite monotonous, so I had to pull some people
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: in with me. I had to pull my mates in
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: with me, you know. So that's why these two girls.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Okay, the switch to to Emma. Now Emma, So what
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: have you got a sporty background?
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: Do you know?
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: Kevin? I quite like to try a lot of different sports.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: Jack of all and master of none, but I have
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: a go everything in tennis is a massive love of
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: mine to do. But as Charlotte said, I think sometimes
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: trying something different is really good. And Charlotte ended up
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: bringing the idea to us about rowing, and again it
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: was a challenge. I had never tried it before, and
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: it was just something that meant that I could spend
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: time with friends but also have a giggle and also
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: get fit.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: So it was good. It was good. Okay, So Allison,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: so what have you got a spatty background? Yeah?
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: So my background's really a netball. I've played a lot
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: of netball in my youth in my young years, but
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: it led to quite a lot of knee problems. So
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: I had a full knee replacement back in twenty twenty two.
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: So yeah, indoor rowing on the concept two has been
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: brilliant because it's non weight bearing. I couldn't go back
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: to netball and I wanted an activity where I could
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: challenge myself. It was competitive, but I also had the
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: social side. I couldn't go to the gym every day
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: all day and just work out on my own. So
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: living close to Charlotte and Emma, we all live in
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: the village around the corner from each other. Yeah, if
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: your friends with Charlotte, you get drawn into lots of
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: different things, and.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Luckily this one was.
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it was an enjoyable one.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: When you wrote these two suckers into rowing, had you
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: any idea that it might lead on to sort of
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: bigger and better things or was it just at the
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: time just to keep you all together and do something
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: as a joint adventure.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: I think at the beginning we did have these major ideas.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: Once we started on the concept to row, we started
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: to get quite good at it quite early, and we
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: had these mad ideas that maybe we could set a
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: world record.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Of rowing the channel.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: It's been done before.
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: It's been the oldest ones.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: The folks and rowing club They when the weather's bad,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: they get indoors and do little challenges with other rowing clubs.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: You know, I think they did. I think they did
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: one across the Atlantic, where like over rowing club will
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: winning in focus and anyway, we digress. So you pulled
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: them in and were were you all progressing at the
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: same rate or did you find that you had a
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: bit of catching up to do?
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: Emma Well, I think actually we were all quite solid
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: and steady with the training that we were doing, so
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: we set ourselves quite realistic times to end up rowing
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: at and there were days where some were stronger and
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: other days where others weren't. But I think the beauty
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: with the rowing is you're just you're as a team,
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: but you are against your own time. So actually your
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: own strength and your own fitness is against yourself, which
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: works quite well even though you're working in a team
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: with friends to pull it in.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: So Alison, when you started rowing and you kind of
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: got into it, did two thousand meters did it feel
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: like a little sprint or like a marathon, a marathon
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: and ultra marathon?
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: I think, I think to be fair, when we started
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: we were just literally doing it to see how we
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: were getting on and it was a bit of fitness.
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: We didn't think about the British Championships that early on
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: at all. It was I think it was probably Ricky
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: that just sort of put us in for it, and
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: we thought why not, Because I think when you're when
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: you're sort of doing some activity, it's nice to have
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: a challenge.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: It's nice to have a focus.
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: So it's not just let's meet up and row, but
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: it lets meet up and row for a purpose. So
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: I think that that championship gave us a real purpose.
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: So yeah, we developed quite quickly.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Right Charlotte. From the the day that you realized you
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: were in the British Championships, did your outlook on the
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: whole concept to change? Do you think, oh, well we've
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: really got to get a get a heads down and
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: get greking on this.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Yeh, absolutely completely change.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: I mean at that point when we decided that we
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: were going to enter into the British Championships, John Wilson,
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: who is been our amazing trainer since then, he said, right,
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: you need to look at last year's results for your
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: age category and you need to pick where you want
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: to be at, which pace do you want to be at?
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: And then that is going to be your race pace
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: and that's what you've got to aim for. So we
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: had to pick a pace and then that's what we're
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: aiming at.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: And at that time, did it show cue though you think, oh,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: because you might have been rowing in your comfort zone
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: and think, oh wow, we have really got to pick
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: it up.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think at first because it seemed quite a
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: long way off.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: So we were like, yeah, we can do this. Yeah,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: this is going to be easy.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: But actually as it came nearer and nearer the events,
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: we were like, oh my goodness, this is quite a challenge.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: This is quite a challenge.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, we're going to just have a little
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: breakdown and play some of your music. We've got a
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: few angel themed songs in the playlist today and this
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: must be one of the top ones when it comes
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: to angels. Robbie Williams.
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: A certain way, there's any angels can'templay?
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: May do?
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: They know?
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: The place is where we go when we're bringing.
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: The facility, I'm any angels instead they go over Robbie
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: Williams there, And this is my job today.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: I'm loving the angels here in the radio, folks, and
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: we've got the Atlantic Angels. Okay, so let's turn to you, Emma. Emma,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: So for you, when you were told that you're going
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: to go into the British Championships, did life change? I mean,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: apart from Oh, my goodness, we've got to get our
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: redge down. What about if you, like, you know, did
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: you start watching your diet and did you do any
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: of a form of exercise, you know, anything to sort
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: of help out with the rowing. Absolutely.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: I think you kind of realized once it gets a
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: little bit more serious that there's a challenge that you
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: strive for. Your outlook changes completely because now you need
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: to make sure you eat the right foods at the
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: right time before you train. You start to understand what
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: your body needs. And actually it's a good practice for
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: when you actually get to the event because there's a
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: lot of build up for what the body needs. Water,
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: everything we take for granted that we have, but we
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: don't consciously think that we're having enough of. So yeah,
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: you've become a lot more conscious with it. And I
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: think just you move a lot more because you are
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: obviously feeling a lot stronger and you're feeling more of
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: a focus on your fitness and your health. So I
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: think that came hand in hand we're doing the rowing challenge. Okay, Alison,
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: did you find it difficult? I mean, did you have
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: to kind of if you like to change your lifestyle
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: bit and to suit the rowing.
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I suppose we did in a way because we
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: started off just rowing three days a week and then
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: we sort of decided to do the challenge. We built
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: up to four, five, six days a week. So yes,
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: whenever I said to Paul, I'm just popping out for
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: a row, I'll be back in an hour, he knew
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: that it was never going to be an hour because
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: it would be a lot longer because Emma talked for
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: an hour before we rode.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: So yeah, that our sort of.
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: Daily pattern became very focused around the rowing. But you
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: know it was good to have that sort of mental
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: focus and physical focus.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I enjoyed it.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: Ah.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Good. So Charlotte on a sort of practical point, where
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: do you train?
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Ah?
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: So we actually trained in my loft most of the time.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: We had three rowers set up in the loft, and
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: then the girls did.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Buy their own.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: The other two girls, Emma and Alison, they brought their
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: own rowers for home, so at any time they wanted
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: to row. But then on occasions during the summer, we
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: put the rowers out in the garden and we could
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: row outside, which was much nicerer the rowing in my
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: after Yeah, I mean the actual, I don't know, let's
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: just run it.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Run me through like a session if you like, I mean,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: you just don't jump on a row machine. Do you
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: kind of do a slow warm up? Do you do
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: any exercises before you get on the row machine?
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Not really, to be honest.
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: I mean.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Early in the days, we were just jumping on the
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: rower and sometimes we would have to go straight into sprints.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: But then we were finding after a time that we
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: couldn't just go and sprint on a rower. We had
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: to do maybe a five minute warm up to get
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: ready and get your muscles warmed up ready, and that
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: seemed to work better. So we were learning constantly on
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: you know, our bodies, and you know what was the
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: best way, you know, we could get the best out
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: of our bodies at that moment.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna take it that you know, the three of you,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: you do this is this challenge. But basically you didn't
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: have any experience of indoor rowing before. And so it's
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: like if you like running, you know, when you're running,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: you realize that you've got a warm up. There might
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: be certain muscles that want a bit of attention more
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: than other muscles. So this is amazing that you you
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: sort of absolutely zero experience. So your journey to the
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: British Championships, this is a puzzling me. Did you did
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: you have any any previous competitions before you? You went nothing? Nothing,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: So you can enter? Do you have to obviously supply
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: your times or something? How did you get into it?
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: No?
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: You just anybody can anyone can enter. It's amazing really yeah. Yeah,
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: I mean there are lots of categories. Yeah, so any
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: you know, there's so many different categories, juniors, seniors, you know,
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: so you just get into the right category.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: And so so your husband Ricky put you in for it.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Did you know he was going to do that?
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Well, he was one evening.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: Often after a row we would have a little celebratory drink.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: We turned into one Gin and tonic and then maybe
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: two Gin and tonics, and on this specific night, it
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: was a few more Gin and tonics and rick was like, yeah,
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: you're going into the British Round Championships. We're going to
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: sign you up right now. And then literally that was it.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: We were signed up. I mean we did. I did
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: have some understanding from it because John Wilson, he was
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: a championship indoor rubber and he'd done a lot of
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: indoor rowing, so he'd sort of told us about what
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: it did involved, so we did have some understanding.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Okay, Allison, let's start with you now. On the day
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: we jumping, now from Charlotte's loft to the championship a
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: bit of a different venue, but did you get a
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: chance to like out the back of a little warm
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: up before you went into your event.
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it was quite overwhelming actually on the day it
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: was it was a fit Fest festival, so there was
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: lots of things going on. The British Roiling Championships were
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: only part of it. So we walked into this cavernous
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: space and on the right hand side there was all
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: these rowers laid out numbers, very official, really well organized,
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: big places for all these audience to watch, and then
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: round the back.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: There was a warm up area.
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: So yeah, Emma and I were rowing in our age
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: groups at half nine in the morning, which was a
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: shock to our systems because we weren't very good at
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: rowing in the morning.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Charlotte. It's a good point actually, because when I was running,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: I used to like running in the morning. I couldn't
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: I couldn't run.
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we tended to row in the in the evenings
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: after work, and then John did suggest that we needed
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: to practice rowing in the morning. It could well be
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: that that was our time and around, like Emma said,
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: around our eating and drinking. So yeah, we had a
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: bit of a warm up and then we were we
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: were straight. So it was it was very overwhelming. And
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: there was GB rowers there, you know, there was some
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: really strong sort of competitors there.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: And I was in.
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: My age category and weight category and yeah, go ahead,
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: and we did two k and then yeah, we looked
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: for the bar.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: So, Emma, were you two in the same category, Yes,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: we were, so you were if you like rowing against
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: each other, do you all go off those in the
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: same category? Was there enough rowing machines to set you
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: all off?
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: There were?
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: There are about sixty rowing machines. Alison and I were
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: in different age categories but the same time to row
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: at h and yeah sixty. So, as Alison said, you
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: walk into this huge room faced with all these rowers
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: when we're used to three.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: In Charlotte's laugh, quite different.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Oh dear, that must be a real culture shock. It's amazing. Yeah,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: so Charlotte, your your age category or weight category was different,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: but tell us about your race. How did your race go?
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: So my race was later in the day. I can't
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: what time was it now half twelve, so the girls
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: had both rode early and then I had to wait
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: till half past twelve, and I was becoming so so nervous.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: I started to feel.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: It was overwhelming and there was more audience. I mean,
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: there were thousands of people coming in at the lunchtime times.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: So I was really starting to feel quite panicked.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: So yeah, a that's that point.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: I went into my row and when I walked through
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: the doors, it was just a sea of people just
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: with flags and cheering, and it was quite overwhelmed.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: But now the little Bertie tells me you did all right, though?
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: How did you get on those people that don't know?
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Tell us how you've got so.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: For my age category and my weight, I got bronze medal.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Bronze and after being so uptight and nervous, And do
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: you think that helped in the end light you think
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: I'll just get his going, you know what, with the nerves.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not sure. I suppose it does, really, because
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: it is very very intense. You're talking about eight eight,
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: nine minutes that you have got to row at your
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: absolute maximum. And I mean there were people that were
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: being sick that we're passing out. So you didn't want
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: to get to that point. You know, you wanted to
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: push yourself, but you want to get to the end.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, right, Well, we're gonna have another little break for
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: a bit of music and this is our third Angels
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: song now, and this one is a lovely song by
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: a Wet Wet Wet and it's called Angel Eyes. H
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: h h were angel Eyes on our Angel Things morning?
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: Here radio focus to me, We've got the Atlantic Angels
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: with us. We've competed at the British Championships and one
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: certain rower came home with a bronze medal. How awesome
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: is that? There's so many heroes out there and I've
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: got three of them here today. Let's start with you,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Alison now, now, Alison coming. So it's taken if you're
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: like a year out of your life, not literally, but
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: you know, training. So when you look back, what sort
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: of benefits and what advice would you give to people
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: that I just need something extra in their life? What
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: would you say to them?
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: I think for me personally, it was about trying to
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: get some fitness back, some weight control, to be perfectly honest,
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: but also that sort of social side, and to help
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: my mental health as well with my injury with my
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: knee and then COVID. There's lots of things that sort
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: of built up that I was then struggling to cope
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: with a little bit.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: So being able.
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: To be physically active but also to help my mind
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: as well was really important, you know. And I've never
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: rode before, so it was it was. It was really
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: a combination of different things that made me feel better
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: in myself physically, mentally, and the social side as well.
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: So yeah, anyone can do it. It's just finding the
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: thing that works for you.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: I think that's a good point. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: mean at the time, you probably didn't think rowing would
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: work for you. I mean, if you've never been on
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: a rowing machine and Charlotte comes around and says, come on,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: we're going to start rowing, or you probably thought I
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: would give it a go. How long was it before
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: you kind of molded into it, so you thought, you
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: know what, I'm quite enjoying this.
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: I'm not sure I've never molded into it. I'm probably
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: still learning. Yeah, it took me quite a while to
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: get my confidence with the fact that I was going
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: to do this championship. Yeah, and I hate to say it,
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: sorry Paul, but I'd love to do it again. I'd
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: like to try and better myself before. But yeah, it was.
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: It was something that I didn't think i'd enjoy because
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: I saw it as a bit of a solo gym pursuit.
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: But actually when you do it with Emma and Charlotte,
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: you've got no option but to enjoy it. Yeah, And
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: I'm competitive, so I like that competition against myself to
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: improve myself in lots of different ways.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Okay, so Emma, I mean you're probably going to tell
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: me what Allison's told me, but I mean, what sort
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: of benefits and what sort of feeling did you you know,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: did you get when you got off that rowing machine
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: in Birmingham and thinking, you know.
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: Good question, because I think you're exhausted and you're pleased
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: you've done it, but the sense of achievement you feel.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: Really quite epic.
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: And I think it's a time in your life where
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: things are changing. Maybe you've got children that are going
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: after university, they're doing things, a bit of an empty ness,
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: you've got time for yourself to challenge something and all
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: of a sudden, you then, with all the training, find
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: yourself in the Birmingham NEC climbing off a concept two rower.
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: You're still breathing, which is a miracle, and you feel
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: so epic with the achievement and you've done that. Anyone
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: can do it, and you've done that and it felt great,
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: felt really.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Good, brilliant Charlotte. And when you started this a year ago,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: did you just think I'll be you know, and I
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: always said this before, but just get the girls together,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: have a little row, have a little drink. Did you
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: ever really think that you get to British Championships and
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: come back with a bronze medal?
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Absolutely? No way, absolutely no way.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: I mean, for me in my sport, I always like
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: something to focus to and I always like a challenge
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: or a goal because I think if you don't have that,
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: then you won't keep on tip, you won't keep going,
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: you won't do it three times a week, four times
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: a week. And I think it's really important if you're
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: going to take up some sort of sport that.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: You have a goal that you reach reach to.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: And to have that goal of going to the British
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: Championships and to actually even get there was amazing for
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: all three of us, but to come away with the
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: medal as well, I mean, I mean it blew my
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: mind really and it does make you feel like you
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: are on top of the world, and you.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: Want that feeling again.
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: When you've done it, you want it again and again
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: because it feels great.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: You must be very proud of your two colleagues.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: Though I am so immensely proud.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: It's just just to pull them in and say I
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: want to just go and do a bit of rowing.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: I really take my head to alls you. So we're
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: going to wind down a little bit now, but we've
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: still got plenty of time in as much that we
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: want to find out a little bit about who were
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: your trainers, who gave you the structure, who gave you
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: the guidance and the expertise to get to the British Championship.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: So it was the Atlantic Avengers. I don't know if
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: people have heard about them, but they were a pair
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: that rowed the Atlantic in twenty nineteen. They achieved I
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: think three world records and British records, and they've obviously
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: done a lot of indoor rowing to prepare for this
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: type of event. So, yeah, it's my husband Ricky who
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: was one of the Atlantic Avengers, Ricky Rayner, and then
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: John Wilson who was his pair.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: So they were the pair.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: Well, it was actually Ricky that started off with the
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: training and was giving as guidance, and then once we'd
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: entered into the championships, it was John that almost took
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: over the training because he'd had a lot of experience
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: with indoor concept training and what you need to do,
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: so he put a whole plan together for right.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I do know Ricky and John and when they
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: were doing the Atlantic Challenge, I did support them at
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: a couple of events. One was down at it was
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: the High Focused in Temile Race. They brought the boat
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: down there and we encouraged people to get on it
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: and for some reason we ended up at Makestone Football
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Club asking people to come and support them and have
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: the picture done and realized just how small the boat was.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: To spend a lot of time together, but I mean,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: I know it's your husband, but what a great pair
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: of experience to have in your camp.
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: You know, Yeah, absolutely, I mean that their mindset is incredible,
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: you know the way they pushed us and their encouragement
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: was just incredible.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: It really was right. So Emma, come to you now.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: I know it's difficult if you like for Charlotte because
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: it was Ricky was her husband, and you think, do
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: you push your wife so far you want your dinner tonight? Yeah?
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: I mean how did you find the training? Did you
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: find that you were being pushed to the limit?
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: Do you know I'm one that thrives on if I'm
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: given a number, I'll go So he used to say
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: when we used to go in, well, here's your time,
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: try and get that.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: And that's all I aimed at.
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: And as Charlotte said, both Ricky and John had such
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: a great way of giving the training that as much
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: as you didn't want to let yourself down, actually we
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: were all in it together, yes, and didn't want to
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: let the guys down when they sort of pitched a number,
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: and as hard as that number was, you just kind
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: of blocked everything else and did it so and there
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: was always a gin and Tonic at the end.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Yea, perhaps you should change the name of the team
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: to the Gymatonic Angels. So Alison, would you agree with
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: what was just said about being focused?
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean yeah, Ricky was the sort of person
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: that was really pushing us to begin with. But with
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: John and his sort of schedule that we had, and
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: we all became a bit statisticians, didn't we. We had
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: our piece of paper and our pen and we'd write
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: down all the times that we did and how we
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: had to improve on ourselves. So yeah, we needed that guidance.
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: So we wouldn't have got to where we did without
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: their guidance. So yeah, big thanks to Ricky and John. Okay,
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: and the bonding of a team work. You know, I mean,
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: if it's three of you and the team and you
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: kind of what it's not a single sport, is it.
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: You want to do it for the other members of
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: the team. The three of you want to want to
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: jump in and support each other. Okay, so it's time
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: for you, thank yous and hellos and how are you them?
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: So let's start with you, Alison, tell us who you
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: want to thank and say hello to. Yeah, well, initially
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: just thanks to John Ricky, as I've already said, and
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: thanks to Emma and Charlotte for putting up with me,
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: and really just thanks to Paul my husband, and Alistair
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: and Lewis my two boys.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: Who have sort of backed me all the way.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: So yeah, thanks to all of those people.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Excellent and Emma what it was about you.
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: Well, almost reflecting on just what Alison said there, John
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: and Ricky absolutely they were amazing through the whole step
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: and Alison and Charlotte, the girls couldn't have done it
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: without them. Amazing family and friends that ended up being
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: very much part of it with me along the way
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: and without them. You know, it is a solo effort,
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: but it's absolutely a team effort to get you up
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: there and do it.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: So yeah, okay, so final word from you, Charlotte, your
• 29:41

  Speaker 1: thank you for coming in, all three of you, and
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: I just want to add that I am so amazed
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: that you've gone, if you like, from no experience at
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: rowing to the British Championships, and to be fair to
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Charlotte one of the team coming home with a bronze medal.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: It's a big tribute. And I'm sure Ricky and John
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: I were so proud of you as well, the fact
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: that they got you there within the year and you
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: didn't disgrace yourselves. But I know what's coming next. Now
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: you're on your sort of wine downtown. What's your next challenge? Emma, Emma?
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: Wow?
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you see.
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: Now we're going to say it out loud, it kind
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: of becomes a real thing, certainly to give the two
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: thousand and me to row a row again, but to
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: do it a lot better.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, Alison, what do you say?
• 31:20
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: I think I leto that.
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: I don't want to say too much because otherwise Charlotte
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: will get us involved in some other events. I know
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: Emma wants to do a cycling event, but I'm not
• 31:28

• 31:45
  Speaker 3: get under the eight minutes if I can do it.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: But I've said it now.
• 31:50

• 31:59
  Speaker 1: come in, You've ooken about it, you shared your story.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: There's going to be a lot of people listening to
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: this either today or on the podcast, and I think
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: you're just amazing flying the flag for the Atlantic Angels.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: And what I'm going to do is play this song,
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: which is I think Prial sums you up. Thank you
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: once again for coming in, and this is Knowles Barkley
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: and this is called Crazy but that's narls Barkley there
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: and that song just sums up the Atlantic angels they're crazy.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: But there I mean anybody, ladies or gentlemen out there
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: that have heard this interview. And if you are feeling
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: a bit, if you like your mental health is a
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: bit low and you're feeling a bit, you just need
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: something in your life. Find a challenge. It doesn't have
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: to be rowing. It could be swimming, could be walking,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: could be anything. Just get out there, test yourself, give
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: yourself an event that you can focus on and you
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: can aim for. There's lots of walks across London for
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: charity and I'm sure you could turn your mental health
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: around and just start enjoying yourself again. Anyway, we've got
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: to crack on. Let's squeeze this one in Folks in
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Rugby club first fifteen. Now they had no game last Saturday.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Next up this SAD is a home game against Vigo,
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: who traveled down for a mepham in North Kent. The
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: second fifteen well it must have met. I was pleasantly
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: surprised by this result. They beat local rivals Dover by
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: fifty two points to seventeen and this week it's a
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: way to Cranbrook. Moving on to the Folks and Ladies
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: team where they had a resounding forty seven mel win
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: against the poor old Maidstone, who have been going through
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: a bit of a tough time lately trying to get
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: a side together. This victory puts Folkston into second place
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: behind the leaders seven Oaks, and their next fixture is
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: a way to Sheppey on Sunday, the twenty third of
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: feb Now the Six Nations, well, it was another action
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: packed Six Nations. At the weekend I watched Italy beat
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Wales twenty two fifteen on the TV, showing us how
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: far Italy have come in recent years, and it was
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: a low point for Wales as they dropped down to
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: twelfth in the world rankings, the worst position they've ever
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: been in. Then I watched England versus France and what
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: a game that was. Elliott's Sports far at Daily scoring
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: the winning try in the final minutes of a Pulse
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: eighteen game to give England a twenty six twenty five victory. Now,
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: I must admit I had every intention of watching the
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Scotland versus Island game, of which Ireland won thirty two eighteen,
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: but I ended up watching Plymouth Fargyle bet in Liverpool
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: one Neill in the fourth round of the FA Cup
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: and their reward of that victory was an away fixture
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: to Premier Division side and Manchester City. And I bet
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: City manager Guardiola will Will he won't enter us underestimate
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: the Plymouth side and we'll field some of his style players.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: The fifth round of the games will be played around
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: the weekend of Saturday, the first of March. Okay, so
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: now we're going to move on. Time for another squeeze
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: ando a song in this is lamar is there any justice?
• 35:14
  Speaker 7: One oh five point nine? The sound of Folks then
• 35:18
  Speaker 7: radio Folkstone is any justice?
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: Okay? With him? Through a little bit more sport, We're
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: going to turn our attention to hockey. I want to
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: congratulate the men's first team at the Optimists there they'd
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: beat Eastbourne four to three. This was a really six
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: pointer if you like, because Folks on the top and
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Eastbourne worse second. But they are now focusing on our
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: five points clear and I want to thank the two
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: goal scorers, Tom Bean and Joe both former guests of
• 36:01
