aye agree, and dan like how long after u started rowing did it all come together? like does it get easier?

I wouldnt say it gets easyer as with all the training its not going to be fun but its like a Drug its addictive! It took about a year or so before we (i) started getting good and from there we won all j14,j15,j16 and from j16 we won all j16 events and most j18 Quad events and we are not big guys just alot of work and training and it will happen just takes time......1 thing i didnt miss while i was out was Erg Tests!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ya i had mine tonight! i had to do 5k under 19 min under a rate of 26. i couldnt do it, it wasnt that i was tired i just didnt have the strenghth in my arms to keep it under 2min for every 500m, i just stopped at like 1 1/2 k and went for a run instead. like all the other novice lads can do it but there like early 30's, late twentys. i just couldnt do it

Sorry Amz but where is the bitch fest as far as i was concerned it was a civil convo about different clubs?

Dan, if you bothered to read what I actually wrote I said I didn't want it to turn into a bitch fest. Very often when school rivalries, beit in rugby, athletics, or rowing come into a conversation some abuse, insults etc. arise. I was attempting to pre-empt anything. Someone not already involved in the conversation might stumble upon it and decide to stick their oar in (No pun intended). Nobody wants that nonsense.

Don't be so sensitive petal.

Erg tests are a waste put an Erg on the Water and it doesnt float simple as that..
