i have been known to sit in an 8 or on an erg (mostly filling in in case of emergency in fair summer weather or on calorie setting, albeit).
mostly i'm a senior fan club member - i get invited to dinners & everything. the socialising but without the pain, muhaha!
but yay, rowing seems fun & surprisingly high number of medics seem to. of our Women's First Boat last year my Prof. was very chuffed that he'd tutored 7 out of 9 of them! (pre clinical medics, clinical medics, PPPs, Physiologists & some D Phil Med scis).

Meh, all you on the dark side... As a sailor I would never degrade myself with using paddles /oars... However, seeing as I have my competent rowing cox I quite like it too :grin:

Are there any GEP medical students who row at uni? I currently row whilst doing my undergrad degree and really enjoy it, and was wondering how feasible to continue if and when i get a place next year. Have you joined the town club or the uni club?
I completely agree with MollyMouse that this is a fab sport!BSc Biological Sciences (Hons)

Rowing clearly involves too much lycra to be socially acceptable.

I'd tend to agree with part of that, especially with our current fundraising drive involving rowing 100000m (i think) in teams outside the guild (aka students union) in our lycra!
However the summer regattas, early summer mornings of quiet water and the social scene clearly overcome the horrendousness of the lycra!BSc Biological Sciences (Hons)
