Mosman Time Trial Result - 27 August 2008
A record turnout this morning, and some pretty exciting racing as the first three teams across the finish line within a length of each other. Also personal best times for Jones matos da Silva, Mark Connaghan, Michael Trail, the 2- of Charlie Marriott and Mike O'Neill, and the Masters womens quad!They must have been saving themsleves during the 3km this week.
A fantastic effort this morning by all, but due to increasing numbers we will have to introduce some traffic guidelines. ...
Mosman Time Trial Result - 20 August 2008
With the extra daylight in the mornings today was the first day that we tryed to fit in an extra time trial. Having NSW Maritime down to check on lights, and the large numbers of people trying to use the pontoon, made the morning a bit more hectic. For now the first 3km TT will start at 5:50 from the green pole around towards Northbridge, and the normal 5km TT will start at 6:20am. As some found out we will ...
Our Olympians made us proud
The team of Mosman athletes did a great job on the biggest sporting stage there is, and while unfortunately there was no silverware, although a world record is probably worth a mention, all the team represented both Mosman and Australia well.
Super Coach Nick, Zoe and Amy from the Aussie women's Quad, Dan from the men's quad and Tom from the men's eight and Pete in the single, are deserving of the great respect those at the Mosman Rowing Club have ...

After the twists and turns of the Australian men's Eight in the Olympic heats, it was a relief to see Mosman's Tom Laurich and the 8+ team, having a great race in the repêchage. Faced with the possibility of elimination, the men's eight rowed smoothly and maturely, to move up through the field clear of the brutal dogfight for the last qualifying position. After squeezing their bowball ahead of the reigning Olympic Champs USA at about the 1500m mark, they ...
Mosman Time Trial Result - 13 August 2008
A blustery and busy day on the river this morning, but that didn't stop some good times out on the water. Jones achieved his 5th personal best time in a row, Charlie Marriott and Mike O'Neill set a new best time for the 2-, Tom Wear showed his consistency and got close to his personal best again, 3 LTR teams made it to the start AND the finishline, but the highlight was the Masters Quad who created a new TT ...

Moments ago, the womens quad team qualified through to the final in a tightly contested race. With four crews to make it, and 2 crews to miss out on qualifying, it was nerve-racking action as the quads behind them kept the pressure on through the middle of the race.
Someone better ring Nick and check his blood pressure!
Mosman’s Olympians in Action
Over the last few days there has been some very quick racing in the early rounds of the Beijing Olympic Rowing Championships. As the fields all try to squeeze into the 6 lane finals, this will lead to some fantastic racing over the next few days.

In 2 weekends the last JB Sharp regatta takes place.
We will be taking a trailer over, so if you would like to enter some races please send Simon an email.

We will try to mix people into teams to give everyone plenty of racing and get ...
Mosman Time Trial Results - 6 August 2008
Another nice morning on the water, with flat, still conditions. Some great results today across the fleet, especially Sarah Hill and the Mike/James Jun 2x, both within 1 sec of the season's record for their boatclass. The recent Learn To Row Graduates debuted in a very respectable time for their level of experience. And Mark Connaghan, the Noel/James 2x, Jones Matos da Silva, Michael Trail and Steve Gordon all taking huge chunks off of their personal best times. I have ...
Olivia Heath back from World Juniors
Another of Mosman's shining young stars has just returned from Austria. Olivia Heath was competing for Australia in the Junior World Championships. She stroked the coxless four which came fifth in the A final against very formidable competition. It was a great result for her first try at international competition. Well done Olivia!...

Some of the effects of preseason training is obviously kicking in, with 3 teams, Tom Wear, Adam de Koning, and the Masters Womens Quad, all recording their fastest times of the season. Another reminder that in 2 weeks we will add a 3km time trial into this session. The 3km time trial will start at the green pole at 6am, and there will be enough time to get to the start of the 5km time trial....
