Casually rowing as a way of keeping fit for many years, I started training primarily on the erg as I reached 60 in 2017.
Struggling with erg competitiveness as I drifted towards the top of the age group, now 67 (Mar 24).
Picked up the FM >60 HWT British Full Marathon Record 2/8/21 in a time of 2:49:46.3. Happy with that at the time but it won't last long!
From July21 (post covid) focused on 'on the water' which was a bigger challenge than I had imagined.
By Jan'24 competent in crew boats mainly sweeping in 8's and sculling in quads and doubles. Next challenge is the single scull which I may be fast enough to race by the time I'm 70!
