I was up early on Saturday to watch the sun rise over Broadmead (a glorious sight on a winters morning) and was lucky enough to spot Dom and Rob B. training for what must be a new form of triathlon.
The first discipline appeared to be rowing, as they set off in a pair up the docks. They then proceeded to stop, carry out some sort of balancing exercise and then park the boat (very gingerly) at Princes Street Bridge ready for the next discipline: the boat carry. The hapless duo then carried their boat, bare foot, all the way back to the boat club. The final discipline involved putting a new set of washers and top nut on the gate and making sure it was all tightened up.
I’m not sure if this Row-Run-Rig event will catch on!

About Me
- Gurt Lush
- The Family Lush hails originally from a cave in the Forest of Dean. Gurt now resides under a bridge near Welsh Back with his lovely wife, Gurtrude. A former member of CBRC in the 1980's, Gurt was often found comparing facial hair with Brian Stevens, and drinking rough cider in The Ostrich. Gurtrude can been seen in photos of late 1970's CBRC womens crews, who were all-conquering on the Tideway. Cousins Reet & Randy have recently been seen paying close attention to female crews in the Prince Street area.
