#sculling — Public Fediverse posts

Bank Holiday Monday and a late start #sculling on the Wear. Warm already at 7:30 and sunny, the Saturn runners were also out early I assume to miss the worse of the hear. This morning we were looking at dropping or increasing our rate to see if either brought benefits. The higher rate won although we were messy so work to do. The consensus seems to be rate gives us speed, some of our competition rate well below us but get speed through power. The alternative is we could start going to the gym and lifting heavy weights which might be smart but is unlikely to stick. Then off to Longhoughton beach for a less energetic paddle.

Sunday #sculling on the Wear. Sunny and warm we were on and off the water before it got too busy. Steady outing and exercises, we are missing Wansbeck next weekend so the next race will be Hexham.

A beautiful Friday morning, warm, sunny and pretty still. I forgot to start my watch until Elvet bridge. Exercises and steady #sculling in a single this morning. Just a lovely way to start the day. We are still short a crewman tomorrow so Iay even managed a parkrun. #rowing #rowersofmastodon

Monday #sculling on the Wear, proving to myself I can still scull a single. Grey, cool and misty, only the ducks, swans and a kingfisher for company until just before I finished when a couple of other singles joined me. Lower back is a little tight from DIY yesterday afternoon. Hoping some light exercises and drills will help rather than aggravate it. #rowersofmastodon #rowing

It's not often I question taking a boat out but today was that day. Out in a single and I chose a new (to the club) boat "Anthony Andrew", janousek shell in decent condition, a shape I've sculled before and similar to a lot of our boats. It started badly the gates were set way too high with the handles of my oars almost at my chin. After some tweaks I headed off, every time I relaxed my right hand blade caught at the finish or didn't stay square. One trip finished, heart rate through the roof, not down to effort but the expectation that I'll be swimming in next ten seconds. #sculling #rowing #rowersofmastodon

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.
