THE FINISHED RESULT!

My goal was to do 15 press -ups and a 35km bike ride in under an hour on the 24th of October. My end result was doing the 15 press ups and the 35km bike ride in 62mins which was not quite my goal. I think that I have achieved my goal as it was near enough to where I want it to be. One difficulty that I came across when completing my challege is that the bike could only be set to 60mins long. this meant that i didn't get the full result on the bike. The exercycle stoped with 190metres left.


To help me reach my goal I decided to have a race against Kaitlyn as she was doing a 10km row in 55minutes. This also gave a more challenging aspect to give motivation to get throught the challenge. Megan was also great being there as she was able to tell me if I was still on track to reaching my goal. As well as filling up drink bottles and retrieving paper towels to wipe the sweat off.



 I started my challenge with the 15 press ups so iI could then fully focus on the cycling. I found the press ups to be very challenging and I lost a lot of energy by doing them. These only took me around 1 and a half minutes to complete so I was on the right track to completing my goal.



The second part was my bike ride and it took me quite a while to find my rhythm so I have a feeling that this may have caused me from reaching the goal I had set.I also felt uncomfortable as the foot straps were a little too tight. Besides these factors I feelt that I got through this challenge quite well. I had a lot of help from self motivation, my own music and from  Megan's constant encouragment.
