Monday #sculling on the Wear and a change of boat to try one of the "better" club racing quads. I was pretty happy with a session very similar to our regular outings but first time out in this boat. I'm pretty sure we would be faster but probably best not to change mid season. Another damp morning though and cooler again after yesterday sitting for a few hours in the sun. #rowing #rowersofmastodon

Durham city regatta in the rain. A very wet Saturday started with 4 hours on the safety boat at the finish line getting cold and wet. The afternoon brought a straight final against an H Tees boat who got a 12 second start on us. We closed but couldn't get that back over the regatta course. A solid row though and one we are happy with. Another 3 hours safety boat tomorrow although I hope to fit a run in first.

Friday #sculling on the wear, last session before city regatta and we think we figured out who our opposition is tomorrow. Surprised to see them as I thought they would have been off to Nottingham, perhaps we are a warm up! #rowing #rowersofmastodon

Monday morning #sculling on the Wear 4x Bluewater. A gorgeous morning and a little more water in the river. A double session with both regatta pieces feeling strong and fast. One more practice on Friday before city on Saturday. #rowing #rowersofmastodon

Saturday #sculling on the Wear. A stunning morning, cool air and sunshine. Our regular boat was off in York so we borrowed another quad. Not the best setup but it was good to be out on the river. One solid run along the minute stretch below Elver and one regatta piece before the river got too busy. Back in bluewater on Monday and racing next Saturday at Durham city regatta. This afternoon we have a landing and shallows to clear / deal with.

Cut short this morning due to a steering issue, now sorted for the crew using the boat in York this weekend. A lovely morning though and quite busy with college crews out in the sunshine. #sculling #rowing #rowersofmastodon

Giving my knee another days almost rest, at least #sculling doesn't seem to aggravate it. A little outing in a single focussed on a gentle catch and drive through to the finish. Low rate steady state. Joined on the return trip by a couple of St Leonard's boats out doing regatta practice. Cool, grey but dry. #rowing #rowersofmastodon

A sunny cool Monday #sculling on the Wear. Turning short top and bottom to get two regatta pieces in. Both very similar and not quite where we need to be, only one more weekend until Durham City regatta. #rowing #rowersofmastodon

Saturday #sculling on the wear missing our first trip, 4.5km a couple of regatta pieces. Our pace seemed off, something to work on Monday. Grey and cooler but the perfect start to the weekend. #rowing #rowersofmastodon

Thursday is Friday #sculling on the Wear a day early because working life or Banjo. Our usual weekday outing on a cool grey morning. Good progress all round. #rowing #rowersofmastodon

We are back out on Monday #sculling on the Wear. A slight mechanical on the steering foot resulted in a return to the boathouse for some pliers. Standard Monday after that, warm up, turned early at counts house, start, ten and fifty then steady through Elvet picking up counting strokes at baths bridge before a regatta piece, up and in. Cool but dry. The new blades are setup to match the rest of the crew. It's great knowing I'll not have to fight whoever keeps setting the club blades I use with 2cm of extra inboard. Feel well enough for a run!

After a few days of lurgy, resting and generally just slacking off I'm getting set-up for next week. I recently purchased a set of concept2 sculls, delivered yesterday. At 288cm I had visions of hand carrying them down to the club this morning. After a little seat tweaking it turns out there is possible to fit these inside my very untidy id3. If I'd been carrying them I was debating wearing an all in one.

Another Monday #sculling on the Wear. Shorts didn't feel right at -2 degrees but we persevered. Normal trip and a half session. Warmup Dow to the pool, starts then a start and fifty stroke piece to Kingsgate. Counting strokes after Elvet and a regatta piece before cool down back to the clubhouse. A second off our regatta piece time and equalled our counting strokes record, down hill from here. #rowing #rowersofmastodon

A rather dreich Saturday morning #Sculling on the Wear in Bluewater (4x). A little late on the water as the other crew that use the boat had adjusted the steering, swapped over shoes and left the boat unsteerable. Club life. Exercises and steady rowing this morning, the outing had a hard finish at 9am due to other commitments.

Thursday rather than Friday #Sculling on the Wear, 4x Bluewater. Our settled short trip and a half session, warm up. Starts, start and fifty, up to the regatta start. Regatta piece then counting strokes. Fastest regatta piece by some way and best count on counting strokes. Sometimes less is more.

Monday late #sculling session on the Wear out in Bluewater 4x. Warm up, drills then a regatta course piece, easy down to the pool then a sprint back up to Kingsgate. Some good progress in our starts, less force, better technique and our rate is getting there. Cold air but a glorious morning, even the bonus of arriving back at the club just in time for the daytime rowers so we didn't need to take the boat off the water. #rowing #rowersofmastodon

Monday #sculling on the Wear. The river was up and rising with a decent stream on. Warm up half trip then builds down to Elvet and a piece in thirds to The pool and back. Light by the time we came back with a few colleges heading out without lights. Birdsong and light, shorts and tee shirts not far off. It did start raining as we came off, we had the best part.of the day.

A decent row at Durham Head, we were beaten by two composites but beat our own best time on the course. The day started damp but cleared up but never felt warm. The two hour session on the safety launch after our race was missing gloves.

Do I have anyone on this feed who #rows or #sculls? If so, let me know. Wife's small club is hosting a virtual #regatta next month (with your own Concept 2 or compatible erg). And unless overridden by the club, one of my #alligator pictures will be incorporated into the medals!
