The first regatta of the season was on the lovely Barwon River. Dragon Masters recorded 29:49 for the 5.5km, finishing ahead of all but YRD Black and Melbourne Flames Gold. A great result!

We have now established that we can regularly beat 30 minutes. Can we get below 29 minutes?

The novelty event of the day was the rowing ergo challenge. Three women and three men from a club made up a team, each rower did two minutes and their distances were totalled. Our crew, with little warning and no particular training, was Alan, Adrian, Ross, Zonda, Cathy and Vicki. Total distance 3096m. Fifth behind a lot of younger teams. Two minutes on the rower is well on the way to Hell! Outstanding work from all!

Thanks to Lili Chan who was an official on the day, and to Colleen Sells, our volunteer.
