Quick 10km WattBike ride on the Zwift Richmond route.

A 10km blast 💥 on the WattBike after a few days of inactivity due to the weather. After this did some strength training with weights.

Training row in Harbour due to winds and waves. Plenty of racing starts and sprints
Fun 🤩 row practicing technique and power rowing 🚣🏿. Nice calm seas and no rain ☔️ for a change. Cox: Jim 6: Trevor 5: Jayne 4: Cars 3: me 2: Sarah 1: Jas.
Evening row on calm waters: Cox: Julie, 6: Tina 5: Me 4: Steve 3: Kevin 2: Jo 1: Jonny/Ivan. Lots of racing starts and power rowing 🚣🏿 as well as technique. Change for me being at 5. Jonny took some photos of our row. Note calm waters which is a change.


Good training row in awful weather with lots of rain and choppy waters. Cox:Jim 6: Steve, 5: Emma, 4: Claire 3: Jonny, 2: Kevin, 1: me. Plenty of race starts and practicing technique in choppy waters. Also stroke technique training for power and feathering.

5.45 Evening training row: Cox: Jim, 6: Nina, 5:Emma, 4:Me 3: Kevin, 2: Janice 1: Ivan passenger and coach Julie. Easy row but weather Ok but sea a bit choppy.

Official time 59.17 as started my Garmin just before the official start.


Great weather for the event, cool but also sunny. Started the day up at 5am and picked up by teammates Steve and Kevin. Travelled to Saltash to meet rest of the crew and to launch the borrowed gig Rhos as Maladron was having a painting makeover. The men’s crew was as follows: cox: Jim, 6: Mark, 5: Will, 4: Steve, 3 James, 2: Kevin and 1: me. As shown yesterday we were in Heat 3. We had a good start and completed the 6mile, 10km course in 59min 17sec. So good result for a scratch team with 3 Masters, 1 Supervet and a relatively new younger rower- results below. 


we met up as whole team after dropping off the gig in Penzance and taking the trailer to Pendeen. Afterwards had a few 🍻 and other drinks in the fountain. Few photos below Team work is dream work



Looking forward to the Three Rivers Row tomorrow run by Caradon Gig Club. This 10km of 6 mile race will be tough due to poor training over the weeks due to a virus, chest infection and poor weather for rowing 🚣🏿 on the water
