Some of you might know about me rowing, but I am proud to say that last weekend we finally won a match and our final time was pretty good actually.. Good enough for a record in each case [img]smile.gif[/img] YAY!! Finally, after a year of intensive training (virtually each day) we won a match! And it was sooo awsome!!! Still can't believe it :D

I haven't got any pics yet, but I'll try and post some soon.

Congratulation Link. [img]graemlins/thewave.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/shine.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/dance.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/happywave.gif[/img]

What record old boy? :D

Is it national? International, 2K, 3K, please explain! :D

Anyway, way to go Link, [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] do you think you'll be appearing in "Rower's monthly"?

Nah.. no "Rower's Monthly" for me I guess; we rowed 6.05 in a 2k match, so that's pretty decent I'd say. Our previous record (on another track) was 6.12, so we're making progress at the least :D

Ah right, that's really impressive mate! Were you rowing in an eight? The world record fastest 2K by an eight is 5:22, I don't remember who was in it exactly but it was a crew from The Netherlands (but that was Olympic World championship stuff :D , the under 18 record's probably a lot higher!)

We don't have eights over here, we can only manage quads in the sea. So the times wouldn't be a fair comparison :D Good luck in your future attempts!

A quitter never wins, and a winner never quits :D

Yeah, it's an eight, and it's in leight weight division as well. The world record (5.22) is probably for the more heavier men in the world, and perhaps it was a Dutch team that rowed that time, but I don't really know about that...

Pain is temporary, glory lasts forever

Pretty cool, Link! Congrats! [img]graemlins/balloons.gif[/img]
