A huge congratulations to SSgt Charles Coussens who last week set a new GB record. Charles set out to break the furthest distance rowed in 4 mins in the lightweight mens, 30-39 age category on a @Concept2UK rowing machine.

He broke the previous record by an impressive 6m 👏👏

Recently members of the squad joined @Armyrowingclub for a few days out on the water at @devilselbow_rc.

Sculling, sweep, solo, pairs, fours, this was a great opportunity to refresh skills and build confidence on the water.

Finally we had those who rowed from home. A great option which allowed personnel to row from anywhere in the world.

In total we had 148 service personnel submit their 2km times.

Indoor rowing is continuing to grow, lets keep it growing!

We also had rowers competing in Cyprus and Harrogate under the direction of SSgt Adam Griffiths and Sgt Al Crosbie. A huge thank you for organising the events.

People clearly didn't want their 2k pain faces on twitter so we don't have any pics.

Well done to all who took part💪

With this years Indoor Rowing Championships being held at numerous @BritishArmy locations, no one had to get on a plane to join in.
