Hey guys.

Ive just started Rowing, both indoor and out on the river whilst at the University of Birmingham.

Just wondering if anyone else did?

I did a 1000m time of 3 min 44 yesterday, but came out of the foot straps. So cudda been faster.

Ive also lost a stone in 3 weeks.... only 3 more to go lol.

Used too, have grown out of it at the moment though I'm sure I'll return to sculling eventually.

Awesome.

Were doing 8 man sweep at the moment. I guess to get us race ready in november!

Did 4 x 600m today, averaged around 1:53 per 500m. Did a leisurely 1000m afterwards of 2:15/500m.

I rowed for about 15 years. Retired a few years back but still miss it sometimes.

Used to "row" but then my knees gave out and so I coach. Have been coaching for 8 years now.

I've just starting indoor rowing at the gym.

Been doing 4000m in 20 mins. Lost a bit of weight.... its been getting easier though, so I'm gonna increase the intensity next week.
