Winter Training

DUBC oarsmen take a deserved break from their formal training structure over the Christmas period, following recent fitness testing and competitive successes (latest result).  Boats and rowing machines have been deemed off limits so most will be mounting their bicycles or strapping on their running shoes for the festive season. Both novice squads will be taking to Blessington for intensive training, with the 2nd years braving it out in singles as the first years take the larger boats. While the novices are recovering from hypothermia at home the senior/inter squad jet off to sunny Seville in the south of Spain for a water training camp in top quality facilities, focussing on pairs to improve boat moving proficiency. A lot of duelling on the water is expected at each camp as competition for places is fierce within all squads.
