On the water again

10 May 2012

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!
