It is the people which make a team special. They dedicate their time and effort to train for an event which is approximately 2000 meters and 7 minute long. The training consists of both in boat and on land workouts. The land training includes running, weight-training, and the ever-favorite climbing the bleacher stairs. This training builds the power and endurance which are needed on the water. Crew members also spend time on an egometer, a sta– tionary rowing machine, which helps them with technique and timing.
