20 members of the Army Indoor Rowing Team competed virtually in this year’s British Rowing  Indoor Championships.

As it was virtual, some had great race set-ups in their military gym (ATC Pirbright), others raced in their home rowing dens and a few whilst on Adventurous Training as far as Sweden. Despite a few technical errors with some races, the team did well setting personal bests, season bests and a championship record amongst some medals.

Overall it was a brilliant progression from last weekend’s competition and a strong foundation for more competitions in the new year. It was another outstanding effort from the team.
