Anyone here row?

Post by **Anakha56** » 12 Nov 2005, 18:51

shouldnt your topic title be a little less errrrr conspicous? something like "I row do you?" wait that sounds worse hmmm? how about "Rowing the Mans Sport?" no wait errrr i give up drinking and trying to be witty doesnt work....

where do you row? i know a girl who used to row for uct... maybe she still does...

I chose the title because people ask me what sport i play. so i say,

I wrote:I play Rowing

. Why shouldn't it be conspicous?

I row for my school in PE (narrows it down a bit) and fitness is a *****

We've just had three regattas. 1 in PE, 1 in Knysna and 1 in East London.
No comment on results. @ neon Harhar a funny guy

Well, I guess your school is doing badly. Well my school isn't doing that well either. At our last regatta (Guateng Champs) My Four won a bronze and that is the best we have done so far.

I wanna start rowing next year. I am going to St. Benedicts next year (Gr11) and thats a big rowing school. I have started training at out local gym on the Rowing machine.
Did 1010m in 5min. The most I have ever pulled on that machine is like 400watts in one pull. What have u guys done?

The_Fenix · Post by **The_Fenix** » 12 Nov 2005, 21:19

You don't need to look at the watts, rather change the screen to splits which is how long it takes you to do 500m. I think the sign is 500m/ something like that. Anyways if you want to row at St. Bendydicks then you'll have to pull much harder. I am in grade 10 next year and at the moment I can go 10 634m in 45 minutes. Last year I could row 1000m in 3:54 I think and I might try one some other day. Also my time for 5000m is 20:14 which is OK.

Nice times man.

Like I said, I have only just started training. I have been doing homeschooling for the past 2 years so my fitness is a bit low atm. I want to get it up for next year. Ill let u know what my times are in a few weeks. And another thing, I did that time on a machine and the machine has diff setting from hard to easy. what u do it on? I have mine set right in the middle.

Eh? Dude, no offence, but you got aggro when Jamin posted a picture of you even though you are in the gallery, and when I once said Hexies name by mistake, you edited my post and called me a noob. So...

What's that got to do with the price of Stilton in London? Borat is an international public figurehead, very different from an anti-neon campaign.

I'm not in the gallery. That whole editting your posts thing was part of the initiation process, just be thankful you didn't get a "welcome flaming" or a dunked face in the toliet and a wedgie.

BTW, sorry for the thread hijack, but rowing isn't all that exciting. No offense.

Hey Kid-mod!... You better watch out boy.

WHen I first saw this thread, I couldnt stop rolling on the floor laughing my freaking bottom off. But I didnt want to make the first reply, as that is Cappo's job.

The_Fenix · Post by **The_Fenix** » 12 Nov 2005, 22:39

Well is it settings one to ten and if so put it between 4 and 5. BTW I said I am in gr 9 now and going into grade 10 next year.

Post by **neon_chameleon** » 12 Nov 2005, 22:43

Isn't it pronounced, "I are playing rowing"?

Zell · Post by **Zell** » 12 Nov 2005, 22:46

Noah! It are being, "I can like to be playing rowing"

elbow · Post by **elbow** » 13 Nov 2005, 00:33

ah hell...too much blood in my alcohol stream again...

I leave you guys alone with my thread and now you're debating my english. Anywho, I rowed a 20 min time trial recently, did 4800 m(+-). 1000m is 3:55. My 500 (which i did beginning of this year) 1:45. My school's doing well, just my 8 + 4 crew isn't. But we've only started rowing sweep oar.

The_Fenix · Post by **The_Fenix** » 13 Nov 2005, 17:16

What grade are you in. Our school starts rowing sweep oar from gr9 onwards. So I also just started recently.

Supreem1 · Post by **Supreem1** » 13 Nov 2005, 17:26

Grade 8. I'm meant to be rowing under 15 but i was (qoutes u15 rowing coach) 'hijaced by the American' so now i'm rowing u16

The_Fenix · Post by **The_Fenix** » 13 Nov 2005, 21:09
