School rowing at the sharp end of the season...

“The Mighty River Power Junior regatta last weekend was a chance to try out all our school combinations to work out the best entries for the big regattas coming up. “ Alastair Riddle (RRC Head Coach).Rotorua Rowing Club entered 58 crews and of these, 22 crews made 'A' finals and a further 12 made 'B' finals.

“Two weeks now until the North Island Secondary Schools regatta when all coaches will finally reveal their best combinations, so the pressure's on and we have to make the most of every training - there are not many left .At this stage of the game every little thing counts - so eat and drink right, get a good 8 hours sleep, don't go skydiving or downhill racing on your mountain bike, running a half marathon in the week before the regatta - Rowing takes precedence at this final month of our season. Follow your coaches instructions for off-water training as we cut the work back significantly just before each of these two regattas... All the best “Alastair Riddle (RRC Head Coach)
