Personal trainer and erg coach to the stars - Daughters 1 and 2.
Locked down, rev'd up & smashing PB's.
Attitude - a little thing that makes a big difference.

Water time....

It's been a long 18 weeks, but finally Daughters 1 & 2 are back afloat - and both managed to stay dry side up !!

Great job @suabc1874 @SuABCJuniors keeping 'em safe and dry.....

[BrianJR @BJRSeries3]

It's all over for another weekend - many thanks @HenleyVirtual for a great competition.

@suabc1874 @SuABCJuniors daughters again victorious over the old man with 4th places each in the individual events, but both hurting for missing out on the medals.

We'll be back....

[BrianJR @BJRSeries3]

Finally the old man tries again, but sadly fails to make a dent in the leaderboard despite a 2sec improvement.
4th place and falling..... and still 24hours of entries to come.
😒
@suabc1874 and @SuABCJuniors Parents - win or lose, hit the booze. It's nearly gin o'clock !

[BrianJR @BJRSeries3]

Next up Daughter 1's 3rd attempt at the @HenleyVirtual J14 race. Should be easy given the amount of sleep last night !

Another epic sub 4:05 effort but not able to improve further - just goes to show she gives it max each time.

@suabc1874 @SuABCJuniors clearly train 'em hard..

[BrianJR @BJRSeries3]

So here we go - first up Daughter 2 having another crack at the @HenleyVirtual J13 race - 637m of pure fun, and an improved time. Meat for tea tonight then..
#stillboredwiththebarntho

@suabc1874 @SuABCJuniors have determination (and meat!)

[BrianJR @BJRSeries3]

Pace notes ready, oaty breakfast eaten, hydration underway, nerves building........oh and Daughter 1 still in bed !!

@HenleyVirtual racing here we come, @suabc1874 Parents and @SuABCJuniors are (almost) ready to attack the leaderboards.

[BrianJR @BJRSeries3]

Daughter 1 can't get enough of the @HenleyVirtual racing so having another crack at the 1047m tonight.
No holding back these @SuABCJuniors - love that lactate...
#stillboredwiththebarntho

[BrianJR @BJRSeries3]

Daughter 2's turn to bang out her piece for the @HenleyVirtual J13 event. Strong effort for a little lightweight..
Great work @SuABCJuniors - bring on the water time.
#alsoboredwiththebarn

[BrianJR @BJRSeries3]

GOLD !!
Top performance from Daughter 1 and her "oarsome" @SuABCJuniors J14 crew at the @HenleyVirtual championships. A fantastic team effort.

The bar is now set for Daughter 2 in the J13s, and for the Parent event - Oh no.... I can feel the lactate building already.

[BrianJR @BJRSeries3]

The old boy setting down a marker for the Henley Virtuals weekend event - The Parent Picnic Cup.
Frankly, a Pimms and cucumber sandwich has more appeal than a 1047m thrash - but hey-ho.. parental examples to be set and all that.

[BrianJR @BJRSeries3]

Daughter 2 banging out a solid 1047m for her leg of today's Henley Virtual Champs J14 crew event. Nice work....
Go @SuABCJuniors - here's hoping for some water time soon - #boredwiththebarn!

[BrianJR @BJRSeries3]

Forest of Dean cycle trails - plenty of fun, sun and a cracking "off" into the brambles and nettles ! Solid.
All good training for an attack on the Henley Virtuals next week - hope my trainees excel once more while the old man creaks his way through 1047m

[BrianJR @BJRSeries3]

So the @ChesterRegatta results are in, and we sneaked a Top 5 in each of our categories (joint 5th in Masters E ?)

Good, but not enough...😉 Think daughters were dreaming of sculling the River Avon...

So, no pots🏆 = no ice cream 🍦🍦 and back into training for the whole gang !

[BrianJR @BJRSeries3]

@ChesterRegatta Truly heroic - into the wee small hours 2 days in a row to get the results out.
Great job folks, really appreciate you organising, and seeing it through to the nailbiting end !
Thank You.

[BrianJR @BJRSeries3]

After some "virtual" hard weekend work at Chester Regatta, it's back to real hard work - attacking those Cotswold hills.
Solid.

[BrianJR @BJRSeries3]

So that's us done @ChesterRegatta , fantastic thing to focus on. Makes all the home training worthwhile.
Many thanks from all of us here for such a fab effort - you are superstars.
And big shout to @SuABCJuniors for getting us involved - solid !
