Rowing

For some time (circa 4 years) I have always wanted to take part in rowing but as there are no clubs near me I have never had the chance. Now I am off to uni I am considering joining the rowing team but am scared I won't be good enough. I'm 5'6'' female and quite large/curvy. I have recorded a pb on a stationary rower of 1.54 (500m), though I don't remember the resistance.

Give it a go - you have nothing to lose. Most rowing clubs want new members and I recall many years ago being made very welcome at UCD's rowing club in Isdlandbridge and given free training over several weekends. The only reason I didn't keep it up was the schedule. I had 9 am lectures and the team I was put on trained very early in the morning meaning I had to be up at 6, get to Islanbridge from Ranelagh then pelt off to Belfield by 9. Impossible.
