A note from the Organiser

Hi Folks,

Irish Indoor Rowing continues to grow and now has a new start-of-season competition - the Irish PROVINCES IRC that aims to reach into each province and find the champions!

The Irish PROVINCES IRC and the IIRC are two separate events run along the same lines by the same Organizer but focused on finding Provincial champions and Irish champions respectively. We also aim to provide a progression from one event to the next in terms of athlete development - prepare for one at the other!

ROWfit hopes to relocate the Irish PROVINCES IRC annually bringing some of the buzz to all four corners of the island. We also intend to roll out Concept 2 slider-based inter-provincial races at this years inaugural competition. If you or your club are interested in taking part in these particular races we'd love to hear from you. We will supply you with the sliders if necessary.

Keep an eye on our Facebook page for all the latest news and follow us on Twitter @IrishIndoorsRow to be kept a-pace of developments beforehand or results on the day. Results will be posted on the website as they are received.

As always we aim to have a great day out and hope you do too - Joe C.

There are two type of categorised Relay or Team races:

1) A 2000m (2k) whereby a team of four competitors will be assigned a Rowing machine on which they must complete a 2k as quickly as possible managing their own individual fitness levels and abilities. They may rotate/relay as many times as they wish. They may optimise the foot straps for performance but nothing else of an ergometer may be altered. Relay Categories will have only one winner per category.

2) Linked Concept 2 Slider pairs event where teams from each province go head-to-head over 2k for Provincial bragging rights! This is by prior arrangment (contact info@rowfit.ie if you wish to put forward a crew) however if enough teams are confident of their linked erg slide racing we will provide more races - be they senior, junior or open!
