Davison double

A small but dedicated group of GRC rowers made the journey to Edinburgh to compete at the Scottish Indoor Rowing Championships. Powerful performances were produced by Fergus, Jules, Kate, Don and Uncle (loved the handshake!), but the stars in our firmament were Olivia who won Bronze in the girls' under-16 category and sister Helena who was the convincing winner of the girls' under-14 race.

Results.

Proud dad Peter (a.k.a. CaptionManUK) has posted video of the girls' performance, and yesterday's winning GRC crews at the Western, on YouTube:

Marathon man

We've also been sent some photos of 3 of Saturday's crews from Matthias Auer, the man who regained his erg-marathon World Record (avg. pace 1:45 for 42k!).

Matthias' photos are on Picasa: Western Head by Matthias Auer.


OK corral

The 'Western' Head poster promised a showdown for "...the biggest guns in the West". Don't know about that, but although we're still waiting for the smoke to clear (no published results yet) news is that all four GRC crews were left standing tall at the end - played 4, won 4.

Happy New Year!

By any measurement, 2009 was a good year for our club.

Let's make 2010 a great one.

On other web sites..

There are other web sites?

The Tideway Slug has gone quiet recently, but the long-running series of 'interesting' coaching comments has been collated into a single page. Language a bit risqué, but worth it.

From Rachel Quarrel's Rowing Service:
Also from FISA, notes on the recent changes in the WADA anti-doping rules and list of prohibited substances. The FISA anti-doping page remains by far the most useful and comprehensive resource for rowers.

Malcolm's latest pictures are on his Picasa album. Some are of GRC people training recently, others are simply showing what a lovely stretch of water we row on.

Meanwhile, in Inverness:

Another excellent day's racing from GRC. Malcolm has recorded some of them in his equally excellent photographs - in his Picasa album.

Unfortunately, there are no photos of our winning crews (unless YOU have some?) but still plenty of meat for the armchair coaches to get their teeth into.

Good racing from GRC at Aberdeen (except for the codgers), with wins in fours, doubles and singles. More in Peter's Picasa album.
