Henley Begins
Well,
The first day of the regatta began today. It is a great experience down at the course with all the people, the stewards enclosure is great (hot in a suit). Several people have said that this is the most people they have seen down watching on a Wednesday (more of a friday crowd).
Went to oxford yesterday, it is an amazing city! How much history can one place have!
Got a heap of photos with the boys (all wearing massive sunglasses). It ...

Henley II
Hi All,
It is okay, I am still alive!
Have not had the chance to get to an Internet Cafe yet as things have been quite busy and tiring.
Things are going great over here, we raced at a typical English local (with the addition of international crews due to henley) regatta, Reading Regatta. It was a great atmosphere, terrible two lane course, and when we won we got these great pewter beer mugs.
The draw came out yesterday for the Fawley Challenge Cup. ...

Arrived at Henley
Well, we arrived yesterday after a very long, uncomfortable trip (30hrs airport to airport).
Got the boat and started rowing yesterday afternoon, painted the blades today, rowed twice today... after sleeping about 11 hours (was asleep before my head hit the pillow).
Keep forgetting that we are in England, just a little warmer than home, 7 digit number plates, short stretch of water, houses crammed together and pommy accents which give me a shock.
The place we are staying (Fawley Court - Polish ...

Poznan Report
Hi all,
Well so far Poznan has lived up to the 3 main memories I have since last here in 1995

2. In 1995 one of the Teams had their Mercedes bus stolen from outside their accommodation as they were inside checking in - yesterday it was the Kiwis turn. Their team truck with riggers, spares, boat ...

MRC Time Trial :: 14th June 2006
Hey Gang,
Please see the results of this morning's time trial... mosmanrowing.com/results/#mrctt
We have a new leader with Allistair taking advantage of the fact that Adam had to do an Erg instead... And Zoe is back on top of the women but only by 1 second over Amy... With most of the girls coming back from injury now I am hoping to have the full contingent next week even if some cannot do it at maximum effort yet...
Well done to all ...

Varese Departure Report
Dear all,
Had a rough trot since last week, with sickness knocking the squad, and the team around bigtime.
The weather finally came good, with the lake assuming it's usual mirror-like surface, however it coincided with the rowers packing up Diahorrea, vomting, and subsequent weight loss, as well as quite bad colds have upset training no end. Most of this week we have had just 2 of the 6 in the sculling squad well, and poor old Peter ...

Varese Report
Having settled in to the Hotel Continental we had a couple of days getting over stomach upsets post -Munich, and so rowed just the quad, while David Crawshay and Dan Noonan recovered. James Gatti was not 100% either, so we kept the intensity out of the training.
From memory we had good water on Tuesday last, but since then the wind that has bedevilled most of Southern Europe has been with us, producing white-capped surf on the normally glass-like lake forcing ...
