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.<br>
<br>
We plan to row 6 sessions per week, combined with a couple of ergs and<br>
circuit and weight training sessions, to give a good all round introduction<br>
to how our club trains and what to expect from trialling. We will also be<br>
providing information on nutrition, core training, stretching, and a summer<br>
programme of training to ensure that we can hit the ground running in<br>
October for our 2010 campaign.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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 [<a href="http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=cnJnejlCTFNLZXM1d2pIMVlsS3hOcXc6MA" target="_blank">http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=cnJnejlCTFNLZXM1d2pIMVlsS3hOcXc6MA</a>] - 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.</blockquote>
