Pontoon Boat Plans Aluminum | Have you got the long distance rowing bug

Pontoon Boat Plans Aluminum

Take this quick 10-question test to find out whether youre a normal rower who merely likes reading about expedition rowing, a potential addict, or a full-on raving long-distance rowing loony.

Be warned, though, once you know the signs, youll find yourself starting to exhibit them. And once youve got the bug, theres no known cure, you simply have to indulge...


Question 1. You hear about a 35km rowing event. Your immediate reaction is:
1. Golly, thats a long way
2. Great - where do I sign up?
3. Nah, too short.

People will do the oddest things for the camera.

Question 2. How many seat pads do you own?
1. 0
2. 1
3. 2 or more.

Question 3. Bank holidays provide a great opportunity to:
1. Have a lie-in.
2. Go for a quick scull and then visit your parents/take your kids to the zoo.
3. Do a 2-day rowing expedition and still have time to mow the lawn, clean the bathroom, get some groceries in, and iron some shirts for work next week.

Question 4. How many of these items do you own: a GPS, rowing gloves, 12-hour Neurofen, a dry bag, a waterproof that you can scull in?
1. 0
2. 1-2
3. 3 or more.

Again?

Question 5. On completing the 160km "Tour du Léman" you would think:
1. Thank goodness Ive finished. I never need to do that again.
2. Loved it. Looking forwards to next year already!
3. Loved it. Now, time to talk  to some of the other competitors and find out about long-distance rowing events in their countries.

Question 6. What is your reaction to the following statement: "A bad day on the waters better than a good day in the office"?
1. False.
2. This is only true if you have a really awful job.
3. Yes, yes, yes!

Question 7. How many days of your annual leave have you spent in the past year on expedition rowing (including travelling to/from events)?
1. 0
2. 1-4
3. 5+

Question 8. What is your approach to signing up for long-distance rows?
1. Not if you paid me.
2. I might if someone asks me to join their crew.
3. I keep a "bucket list" of long-distance rowing events I want to do, and plan which ones Im going to take part in at least a year ahead, and then fit other holidays round those.

Whats not to like?

Question 9. How many km training on the water/ergo have you done on average each week this year?
1. 40km or less
2. More than 40km but I dont know how much.
3. More than 40km and I can tell you the exact number, to one decimal place.

Question 10. What is the largest number of expedition rows youve taken part in in one calendar year?

1. 0

2. 1-2

3. 3 or more* 

What your answers mean
If you scored mostly 1s, youre a perfectly normal rower/member of society, but theres a whole world of fun out there youre missing out on!

If you scored mostly 2s, you probably think youre happy with your rowing/life balance (work being relegated to third place, obviously), but youve already tasted the thrill of long-distance rowing, and youre likely to get sucked in further.

If you scored 3s for everything apart from question 9, youre an obsessive long-distance rower and I look forward to meeting you at an event soon (if I havent already). 

If you scored 3s for everything including question 9, you are a serious long-distance rower and youre probably also German.

Go on, fess up – what did you score?

* You may, up to this point, be thinking youre quite the expedition rower. However, set your obsession against that of one member of the Dutch long-distance rowing community, who completed 25 rows of more than 50km in 2013! Yes, 25, as in one every other weekend more or less. Not surprisingly, he doesnt have a garden.
