> As you may know, the CULRC runs a short programme at the end of the Easter
>> Term to help identify and train rowers that have the potential to row in the
>> next year's blue boat. This covers a wide range of rowers, typically
>> weighing less than 80-85 kilos with the ability to pull a sub 7 minute 2k
>> and a willingness to improve their rowing. The development squad trains from
>> the Monday after May week for 4 weeks, aiming to row, and win, at Kingston
>> and Molesey regattas at the end of the 3rd and 4th weeks.
>>
>> We plan to row 6 sessions per week, combined with a couple of ergs and
>> circuit and weight training sessions, to give a good all round
>> introduction
>> to how our club trains and what to expect from trialling.  We will also be
>> providing information on nutrition, core training, stretching, and a
>> summer
>> programme of training to ensure that we can hit the ground running in
>> October for our 2010 campaign.
>>
>> The majority of this year's blue boat started rowing with CULRC in a
>> summer dev squad, and we have all improved by huge strides since joining the
>> club. All 16 of our rowers from our trial 8's race this year will be in
>> their college first boats for this mays, in some cases having originally
>> come from lent third boats. The CULRC has a programme that works, and we
>> want you join us to build on this year's successes.
>>
>> We will be holding a meeting in Goldie on Sunday the 10th of May at 5pm
>> for all those interested in our Development group, and in trialling for a
>> seat in next year's blue boat. Dependant on interest, we may hold a
>> selection ergo for dev squad on the following wednesday, as we will
>> unfortunately only be able to accomodate 24 rowers. If you are interested in
>> dev squad can you please fill in the online form in this link [
>> http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=cnJnejlCTFNLZXM1d2pIMVlsS3hOcXc6MA]
>> - particularly we need to know availability for the dev squad period so that
>> we can plan to make the best of your time with us - we will need commitment
>> for all 4 weeks, or alternatively if you cannot do that because of HRR or
>> similar, then for the first 3 weeks or the last 3.
