Lloyd Group, FMSA and CoM met this morning and finalised works permits so fencing may be going up around the old yard area as soon as tomorrow in preparation for site setup and works kick off next week. I’ll try and keep a photo diary going through the works project for those far flung Tigers. ...

Indeed, the joy was abundant.    First, Lake Barrington is a magnificent setting for a regatta – checkout Leonie Cluse’s photos (she spent more time jabbing at her new photo app than wielding oars). Plus it’s a world class, straight, buoyed course.  Easy to forget just how far 2km is when you don’t often get […] ...

Their first outing was at the Carrum at Nagambie regatta in December. The first race, the C4 caught them […] ...

While I was traveling recently, I tried the Invictus Rowing Club WOD.  This is Shane Farmer’s creation – the same driving force behind CrossFit Rowing.  This was a late night WOD done around 10 PM after a brutal day, so my splits were not what I would normally expect, but at least I got it […] ...
