First outing with 8

Took an 8 out for first time on the Lee this morning. Combination of new students and a couple of returning athletes. We have a fairly long list of potential rowers and are recruiting all the time. It will be very interesting to see how many last the course and how those that do get on.

World Rowing Championships: Day 8 Finals

Last day in Bled before the drive home. 3 more races uploaded.

World Rowing Championships: Day 7, Finals

In the stands once more for some massive races, M2-, M1x, W2x and the M4x. The M4x has got to be the most dramatic finish to a race so far this week, wouldn't want to be the German 3 man right now...

World Rowing Championships: Day 5, Semifinals and Finals

Apologies for late update but hotel internet has been playing up. Back in the grandstand yesterday and captured some good racing:

World Rowing Championships: Day 4, Reps, Quarterfinals and Semifinals

Got myself sat as near to the finish line as possible without being in the VIP stand. Then found myself surrounded by Kiwis, who turned out to be very nice (although they thought  I was Irish to start with). Some good racing in the can...

World Rowing Championships: Day 3, Reps

Last 250m of several reps, including lm4-, 4x and w4x taken from the Grandstand. There was some very good racing, particularly in the 4x and lm4-. Not surprising with Olympic qualification at stake.
