Went out with some experienced lads in a coxed 4 yesterday.
Spent an hour or so doing some drills in pairs then attempted to row together – hmmm a bit wobbley!
Went back to pairs and then tried again. Did improve massively and i was told that had they not known me, they wouldn’t have thought it was only my second outing OTW and debut in a 4.
Took that as a complimant!
However did get it wrong a few times when i didn’t understand the rowing jargon!
“Stroke out, 2 in – in 3-2-1 GO!”
What?
Just say “Ozzy start rowing!” “Ozzy stop rowing!”
Should be out again next week – boat TBC, depending on who is available to put up with me!
