On Tuesday and Thursday this week the year eights got the chance to go down to HPC and row on the Piako. It was a new experience for most of us. We all had a go on the Ergs the week before so hopping in the boat for the first time was new and a bit scary. The boat felt really different to the ergs. It was a lot more about technique instead of strength. When we went down on Tuesday it was quite easy but on Thursday the current was really strong so it was a lot harder. I definitely enjoyed the rowing experience but when I go to college I think I will stick to sports that are on land 😀.
