Since the athletes last session of 6.5 miles Simon has been unable to do any further training due to an injury commonly suffered by world class competition rowers, Chafed Cheeks!
Despite numerous applications of nappy cream Simon has found even sitting on his chair at work profoundly painful. Simon was quoted as saying, " I've phoned Steve (Sir Steve). He's a busy man but I'm expecting a call back". Training has been postponed until further notice. One week to go.
