This weekend we got two boats on the water!

Yeah, Henke sort of recovered from a nasty cold and actually rested on Saturday so we could give the four a tough time on Sunday. I did some hard 10k pieces on Saturday and felt the strain a bit in the shoulders. Ergs are tough bastards to beat. Ruairi, Walle, Janne and Robban were up for a bit of sparring and after a 1,5 km warmup we got our stern next to eachother and started pushing. Pretty tense rowing, putting a lot of power to each stroke and trying to keep the rythm relaxed. Meanwhile continously getting feedback if your effort is paying of or not…are we moving away or are they? After 12km’s we both felt we had done enough…We rowed an other 4 k’s relaxed.. Perfect training…it is so much fun when suddenly a normal long distance row turn really nasty and some people get extremely competitive…I name no names (Janne/Henke)…
We also had Matt the cameraman in the launch with Louise racing alongside…Though a wizard with the film camera, he took some not so great pictures…

Hope we get this kind of training more often! Awesome…thanks guys!
