    I used the wrong adjective by saying easily…physically maybe, but mentally I wasn’t so sure.  The thought of doing 10 km’s day was the hard part and not knowing the wear and tear on the body was/is a limiting factor.

    I set the challenge outside of my comfort zone and put a sub challenge (shorter than the 100 days) in it by trying to complete it by my 50th.  390 km’s in less than a month scares me and I don’t know if I can do it.

    Just taking a day at a time….

      throw in a couple days a week doing morning and evening sessions? allows you to do more in one day than you could do in one session as there's time for recovery in between.

                @Nkwkfld Thank you!  I would be lying if I said I didn’t want to quit or not row on numerous days…
