| Have you ever been injured whilst training for rowing? | |
People are always getting injured. It's something that happens a lot and always seems to be at exactly the wrong time. An injured squad member can lose a crew a race (or their replacement win a race...), and it's always devastating to take time out when the club's doing really well. | No, never, I'm an undergrad - you have to be over 20 to start worrying about injuries, right?! | | 8% | | | No, never, I warm up properly, warm down properly, miss sessions if I feel ill and always look after myself - my body is a temple! | | 8% | | | Yes, I've been injured, but I rowed through the pain/broken ankle (and won the Fairbairns, in my single scull) | | 16% | | | Yes, I got injured, but went to the sports injury clinic (Mon, Wed, Fri mornings drop-in clinic at Addenbrooke's physio dept) and they sorted me out | | 12% | | | Yes, I rowed through it and made it much worse, I really f**ked myself over for the sake of a couple of minor events and subsequently missed some important races | | 16% | | | I routinely get admitted to hospital/row whilst on crutches/train against specific doctor's orders/am called Neil Talbott | | 12% | | | I am/was a triallist and we have a squad physio to sort out injuries and everything! | | 4% | | | I'm a cox, training is for wimps | | 4% | | | I row for BPBC, training is for wimps | | 20% |

| How did you cope without the First and Third website? | |
The website went on its annual holiday last week (was it unplugged by a cleaner again?) - what did you do? | I didn't notice because I didn't try to visit while it was down | | 0% | | | I got my fill of rowing websites by looking at the Rowing Service, Tideway Slug, etc. | | 5% | | | I watched the Mythbuster waterskiing behind an eight video on YouTube | | 9% | | | I browsed other websites (non-rowing related)instead | | 32% | | | I did some training | | 23% | | | I did some work | | 23% | | | I joined LMBC | | 9% |
