Anyone else?

Thanks for posting Alex, I’m keen. I’m rowing a half marathon on the river Ouse on Sunday 7th so will need to have a think about the logistics before committing.

Be great if you could get on board Anthony, it looks like there's a few team members going.

Slightly off topic, I lived in York for a few years, watched a lot of rowing on the Ouse (assuming you mean this one, I think there is a river Ouse in the south, too). Either way, a half marathon on the water sounds like a tough outing.

I’ve signed up for it. Will be easy traveling as it’s not that far.

It’s the great Ouse marathon run by Ely Rowing club. It’s just north of Cambridge. About 45 mins from where I live.

You know, 20km on the water is not as hard you’d think. For me, it’s harder on the erg physically, however that’s probably because my OTW technique is not a point where I’m able to deliver the same power. Also doing I’m doing it in a double which is significantly easier than a single. My doubles partner is a decent rower with strong endurance. He is also coming to English indoor rowing champs.

Really looking forward to it mate. Definitely catch you there!

I'll be there too. I just need to start 2k training ASAP.

It will be great to meet you both and also hopefully loads of other ergers that regularly compete. There seems to be a resurgence in erging competitions now that this is back, which I assume is due to Crossfit / Hyrox

The north wind laughs an evil laugh.

Haha, as I was writing that I was thinking of a particularly brutal 10k row against the wind. It was not much fun!. Survival more than rowing I think! Definitely not pretty.
