We had a couple of weeks rest after the regatta season then it
was back to work. We came back to
training on the 6th August and since then we have become at one with
weights and ergo’s (rowing machines for you non rowers). My weights have been going up and my ergo’s
coming down so a good start to training. Now
September has arrived we should see the student's back to training and a few new
members to the group. Bring on squad
bonding time!!
Welcome...
My name is Laura Wheeler, from Burton-on-Trent in Staffordshire. My aim is to gain selection for the Great Britain senior rowing squad. Following a long break from competitive rowing I got back into training in the summer of 2009 at Trent Rowing Club. With it being such a small club I made the move to Nottingham Rowing Club in order to progress further. I train as part of the High Performance squad at NRC and coached by Dez Atkins. We train during normal working hours so in order to join the programme I had to reduce my working hours. The squad is made up of like minded athletes and there's nothing like a bit of competition to drive you on.
