Instagram: @tom_milli https://www.instagram.com/tom_milli/ Have you ever considered rowing? Or wondered what goes in to a student rowers schedule? The answer is usually early mornings, hard work, a full schedule but rewarding days. I guess this video represents the climax of the sort of 'mini series' that has been building up to BUCS Regatta. BUCS is one of the biggest regattas in Europe with all of the top university rowing crews from across Great Britain competing across a huge variety of events. Myself and Matt had been training for about 2 months in the pair for this race, having decided to compete independently of other crews from our university. We had never raced in the pair before and I'd had around 18 months off rowing - with just a few outings here and there. Training had been going well, but we both had large question marks as to where we may finish up - as we didn't know our opposition of where we stood. After entries came out we realised it was a stacked category with all of the best universities entered and there top rowers likely to be in the pair. I tried to shoot the day but obviously the race was a big distraction so I am grateful to Aaron for his camerawork and Jess and co. from the University of Chester for the footage and support throughout the day along with those from Lancaster University Boat Club who were supporting us. The day was a success, it has reassured my passion for the sport and I am looking forward to future chapters in my rowing career. I hope you enjoy the video and stick around for the talk at the end really outlining what I'm doing with these videos. Thanks for watching, please subscribe for more rowing content coming soon.
