welll the deal was to do 500 m as fast and as hard as you can then hop
off and run to a line before the next person can start theirs 500m and
so on...

but before all of that some of the boys decided to go for a ROW....
flat as water and due to turn to Sh!t soon, but no greg advice did not
adhere to them and they wents out for a paddle....

They go SWAMPED big time and if it wasnt for Tim, ben abd Colins help
they would have never turned that boat over ha ha while later on Lisa
comes in carrying her boat which also got swamped down by the
museum... and had to walk the full 500m carrying her boat, what a crap
day then having to do ergs after ha ha
Then straight after the ergs it was a ab hold, press up hold squat
hold exersice greg usually does, but not after what we have just gone
through!!!

but as they saw the more you sweat the more you party

hey i just found a site on grants from the pelor trust it has a few
grants for petone, mercer etc  and some other intresting clubs

http://www.pelorustrust.net.nz/grant.htm

Well dont to Lisa who made the A finals and finished 7th overall while
abby,ellen and alysha did fine for their grades as well!!
Hamilton boys took the cup home this year though...
The lady from the breakfast show was there and presented medals for
one race!
The trip was successful and everyone enjoyed it!

I've uploaded a few ne photos Have a Look!!

The guys went out for a row this evening with a three novices in the
boat, everything went well and the novices behaved likenovices really,
Fiona and Jen were out in a double until we rowed past them and they
were really out of a double! Some novi girls went out in a quad and
made it back safely, The older guys came later after work etc, Liam
was out in a Single for his first time after Robin went in the drink
on yesteraday all the way out towards somnes island!!
Observation has lead to a conclusion of the girls rotatiaing around a
certian group of girls, The Nucleus in other words..
Erin Monique Shelton and the guys are doing their weights and training
as their season has already started for them.

Two eights were out on the waters on sunday morning loaded up with 2
or 3 novices a boat...
Destination..... The Island.
yeh it felt good to be back in a boat again rowing like how i spent a
whole season racing. i didnt really expect it to feel different but i
sorta felt a bit unco if ya know hat i mean, like it was my first time
in a boat again... It all came back to me after a few hundred  meters
and things were on the role again and it felt like another training
row, again.
Things went well apart from a from a few boat stoppers along the way,
Sighting of huge jelly fish and seals were about as well and people
started to see things...

Colin,Greg,Matt,Liam,Patrick and Jacob did the hard yards for the sake
of funding for club on saturday by doind a fundraiser by Viv at Carboglass
where the guys did gardening and an bit of labour work inside the
workshop, you know shifting this and that, Destroy'n this'n that.
9 am was the announced start time but no one really turned up till
quater past(Jacob second) the later on Liam and the rest came another
15 mins later...
But the job was done at 1pm and feeling hungry, everyone wanted to go
home by then. it was a hard days work and money was made.

The boys did well placing third in the straight final for the Mens
novice 8+ at the new zealand rowing championships and the Novice
number one 4+ placing 7th overall. It really shows teamwork in the
eight and the number two four didnt even make the finals, while
placing third in the eight. The boys came home with a bronze around
their necks.

NZ Rowing Champs is here!!! 25th petone rowing club is leaving for
christchurch to earn medals!!!

in their races along with 3 cups and everyone with at least one medal
hanging around their necks.

The petone novice boys won their eights race and Petone Composite crew
