LVRC Adult success at British Rowing

Indoor Championships 2015

Sunday 8^th of Feb 2015 saw over 1300 athletes from around the country compete at the Lee Valley Velodrome in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park - London.

LVRC had 8 members attending in 2 relay teams. The men had an early start with a 5am rush southward! Whilst the women stayed over the night before, but by 10am - both sets of LVRC crews were ready to take on the might of GB, Leander and a host of other (scarily big) people.

Each crew had 3 rounds to fight it out - a 2k evenly split race (everyone doing 500m) then a 6 min dash done any which way before the final 2k all out final! - Both LVRC's went straight to PB's - the men setting a respectable 05:48.3 in the final (placing them 8^th overall - and faster than one of the GB relay entries!).

The LVRC women fought equally hard, and produced a stunning final round 2k time of 07:04.1 - which included a truly magic moment, where GB's Katherine Grainger, Jess Eddie and Jess Leyden all got behind them, and willed them to push for home - The extra encouragement helped the girls go on to win the Bronze medal! 

 WELL DONE ALL OF YOU!
