Weather the weather

We have been witnessing an aggressive competition between 'wind' 'rain', and 'sun'. All three competitors are showing us who's in charge, but only moments before the other takes over. The stage keeps changing, with temperatures not quite knowing what to do, cold or rainbow?

The rowers go on. Either on the water or the erg.

Next event: This weekend: Training Camp at Proteus to select a Lightweight U23 Quad. Most of the rowers in the selection are from our region. A LM4x from the RTC!

Seville, Spain RTC Training Camp

For a week starting on the 6 February, the RTC ventured south, way south, to Sunny Spain for training. Delft was reporting -20 degree Celsius weather so it was definitely time to go. Most days had two training sessions, with the morning holding the most intensity. All RTC athletes would meet for an 8:30.a.m briefing and then get ready to battle it out for various 2km intervals at various stroke ratings. The afternoon was about sharpening up your technique. At the end, there was a little party and speeches from coaches John and Ans. The camp was a huge success with athletes making huge improvements and the way forward could only result to faster speeds in racing!
