Miles make champions...

This morning we did a 20k with some guys from the Waihopai Rowing Club in a quad. It felt good, and I like switching between sculling, port and starboard so often. This way I can improve all aspects of my rowing and be ready to row for my various teams. 

After the row, we went to a place called Bluff, which is the southernmost point of mainland New Zealand. Afterwards, we checked out Bluff Rowing Club, the southernmost rowing club in the world. Pictures are attached below. 

For our afternoon workout, we went out in doubles for some technical work. I looked around the club for a bit beforehand and I found a picture of Storm Uru - bronze medalist at the London Olympics in the lightweight double. He used to row here. 

We've had a hearty dinner of stirfry and rice. Now we're getting ready to keep moving. Tomorrow morning will be our last practice in Invercargill before we head off to Queenstown for more adventures.
