How to dazzle rival crews...

2009-10-19T00:49:00.006+08:00

Aftermath: Varsity Boat Race 2009

2009-10-18T21:09:00.007+08:00

The Varsity Boat Race 2009 concluded on the 11th of Oct with UNITEN raking 2 bronze medals. The M4+ and the M8+ crews positioned themselves in the 3rd and 4th place respectively. Why the bronze medal for the M8+ crew? The M8+ race was of international category. Ateneo de Manila University, UTHM and UTM ranked first, second and third respectively. The local crews were awarded medals for a local category (a sub-category of the international M8+ race). Sharp eyed readers would notice th ASEAN title being dropped from the name as other Asian countries were invited too, albeit, none attended. Overall, the event was an eye opener to our crews as many new varsities such as UMS, USIM and as usual UTHM have upped their game tremendously. The lack of equipment, training and commitment among our rowers clouds our future accomplishment. One team to look up to will be UTHM; for they have won the Regatta Trophy (Overall Winner). Their success is a story of administration involvement (financial & motivational), training, and commitment. They have rised steadily from oblivion to what many say, the country's best. All within 2 years. Emulating their success is a tall order although nothing is impossible if we put our minds to it.

Full race results after the jump.

Day 4 (Final)

P.S: Rumours in the grape vines state that UNITEN administration is looking forward to acquiring rowing shell/shells for the team. Keep your fingers crossed.

BREAKING NEWS : URI 2009 POSTPONED!

2009-07-02T11:30:00.006+08:00

A very good day to Uniten Rowers. It was a spurise news I received from informers regarding this year Uniten Rowing Invitational 2009. As what from I have been informed, URI 2009 this year has been postponed to a new unknown date. The original date was to be scheduled on 29th JULY 09 - 1 August 09. The Uniten authorities have decided to postponed the event due to the spread of H1N1 virus occured in our country. Thus, this result of little participation in this event from international and local universities.

However, as I was again informed, there will be training (ergo , gym, rowing etc) as usual scheduled this open semester. Let us pray for this event to be re-held as soon as possible.

Faris.

155th Oxford vs Cambridge race: The Ox is crowned again!

2009-03-30T09:13:00.004+08:00

Racing for the 155th time, the annual Oxford vs. Cambridge Boat Race in England has gone Oxford University’s way. Raced between Oxford and Cambridge Universities top men’s eight crews, the Boat Race is a head-to-head race on the Thames River.

Oxford showed their superior endurance after overtaking early leaders, Cambridge University in this two boat race that covers 6.8km (4 ¼ miles). Earlier in the week Oxford had weighed in as the heavier crew and are recorded as the heaviest ever. The average weight of each of the eight men was 99.7kg with Cambridge averaging 96.1kg per rower.

On the Oxford side, four of the members won medals at the Beijing Olympics and before the race they were being touted as the favourites to win.Cambridge came into the race with new coach, Chris Nilsson from New Zealand and included a Canadian, an Australian and three Americans.

Crossing the line 12 seconds ahead of Cambridge, Oxford finished in 17 minutes flat.

(6.8km in 17 mins?? Yikes!)

Next year’s Boat Race will be on Saturday 3 April, 2010.

The Start: from Putney Bridge up to Fulham Football Club.

A little catalyst for 09/10

2009-03-25T19:58:00.000+08:00

In light of the next race season, I've put up a video for the team to remember how it aches to loose, just so that we learn from the past. The URI 2008 M8+ race as seen by the eyes of an UTHM cameraman. Hope it does the same for the rest of us. Win this event guys. This is a race that we can not loose the next URI. This is our own turf and we can't loose it to the bunch of new kids on the block. Video after the jump. URI 2009 Overall Champs here we come.

Deutsche Telekom - Rudern Commercial

2009-03-23T19:54:00.001+08:00

Slick commercial for the Deutsche Telekom - Rudern rowing team. Makes me yearn for a day at the lake. And also makes me wonder why we don't do the shove at the pontoon (at 1.03min into the video). I think we should learn and teach our rowers to perform the shove. Creates a powerful image of ourselves among other teams. Video after jump.

Ergometer Dilemma Is Over!

2009-02-02T22:53:00.004+08:00

Good tidings from Unit Sukan! Faris (President) has just confirmed that URC members will be able to use the ergs at Level 1 MPH as before. Due to a red tape blunder, URC members have been denied individual access to the ergs since the beginning of Sem 2 08/09. Thanks to the efforts of parties unknown during press time, we have finally regained our basic right as rowers, to row on Concept2 Ergs. Individual rowers are given access to the machines on weekdays, from 8am till 7pm daily (still not available on weekends). Our official training has been scheduled for Fridays 4pm to 7pm. Please sign in at the gym to get the keys to the ergometer store.

Rowing qualification system announced for Singapore 2010

2009-01-28T19:52:00.004+08:00

Qualification system for the first ever Youth Olympic Games (YOG) to be held in Singapore in 2010 have been confirmed by the IOC. A quota system means that athletes will have to qualify for the Games through a qualification process that begins this year. Hit Read More for full article.

The four rowing events for these Games will be: the junior men’s single, junior women’s single, junior men’s pair and junior women’s pair. The rowing quota allows a total of 96 competitors falling into a two year age category: the rowers must be 17 or 18 years old at the time of the Games (birthdays from 1.1.92 – 31.12.93).

Nations will be limited to one male and one female crew and can qualify in one of two ways: by obtaining the necessary ranking at the 2009 World Rowing Junior Championships, or by allocation of a universality place. Universality places may be offered to eligible nations that do not qualify via performance and that have submitted applications for a universality place allocation. 68 rowers will qualify via the ‘performance’ route, while 26 will be allocated universality places. A further 2 places are available for the host country.

This year’s World Rowing Junior Championships will offer the sole qualification opportunity for the Youth Olympic Games. At this regatta boats with the following ranking will qualify one boat spot for their country:

* 12 nations will qualify for each of the men’s and women’s single: the top six places in the single, top three places in the double and top three places in the quad.
* 11 nations will qualify for each of the men’s and women’s pair: the top five places in the pair, top three places in the four and top three places in the eight.

If more than one boat per nation meets the performance qualification criteria, the qualification place will be attributed to the boat with the higher ranking. If two or more boats from a country meet the qualification criteria and achieve the same ranking, then the NOC of that country will decide which qualification place to accept.These rankings will qualify the nation, not the individual athlete, for a spot at the YOG.

FISA’s delegate Mike Tanner says the final allocation will be confirmed following consultation between the International Olympic Committee (IOC), FISA and the relevant National Olympic Committees. This final allocation will consider universality (adding another 26 athletes to the total), host country representation (allowing two single entries to the host nation), performance and gender equity to decide the final mix. The quota places and names will be confirmed by July 2010.

“We need to get the word out to all nations about qualification (at the junior championships),” says Tanner who is expecting some additional countries to compete at this year’s World Rowing Junior Championships.

The World Rowing Junior Championships are to be held in Brive-la-Gaillarde, France from 5 – 8 August 2009.

Established by the International Olympic Committee, the Youth Olympic Games are described by IOC president, Jacques Rogge, as a way to inspire young people to take up sport and as a “platform to create a true community between the youth of the world.” The 26 chosen sports have been selected to “protect the health of the young athletes.” Rowing will be an integral part of these Games and the 1000m course has been established close to the city for accessibility and profile.

2010 Summer Youth Olympic Games @ Singapore

2009-01-26T09:54:00.014+08:00

The 2010 Summer Youth Olympic Games (officially known as 1st Summer Youth Olympic Games) is the inaugural Youth Olympic Games, a major international sports and cultural festival to be celebrated in the tradition of the Summer Olympic Games from August 14 to August 26, 2010, during the XXIX Olympiad. The Games will be held in Singapore, in a decision announced on 21 February 2008 after mail voting by 105 IOC members. Most of us have never had a chance to attend large-scale sporting events such as this. I guess this will be one of URC Members' best chances to watch some of the world's top youth athletes in action.

Events being held are as follows:

The Rowing Events will held between the 15th and the 19th of August 2010 at the Marina Reservoir. Do try to attend these events if don't want miss a truly international regatta.

URC wishes everyone luck in their academic and rowing careers this sem. And do not forget to check the website often for up-to-date information on activities and meetings.

Runner's Six-Pack: Part Two

2008-11-12T11:13:00.009+08:00

This is the second part of "The Runner's Six-Pack". In this video, you'll learn three functional exercises that will build core muscle strength and running power. Although this series mainly caters to runners, I believe rowers can find a use for it too. After all, core muscles are an integral part of strength in any sport. Video after the jump.

Runner's Six-Pack: Part One

2008-11-12T10:25:00.008+08:00

Running magazine, runnersworld.com features Runner's Six-Pack, a two part video series on building abdominal muscles. Part one, 'Moves to Get Ripped', shows three simple exercises meant to build abdominal strength a.k.a gaining a ripped six-pack. Shown in the video are the floor crunch, the bicycle crunch and the captain's chair crunch. The exercises are pretty simple and do not require any extra equipment other than a simple chair. FYI, weak core muscles (abdominal muscles) are the cause of that 'vomiting' feeling after a heavy erg session. Hit the six-pack image for the link.

Haziq & Juares?

2008-11-09T13:24:00.004+08:00

I found this image on a stock photo site while searching for rowing photos. Wonder if the uploader is selling the image. If the person is, maybe these two can ask for a cut. Click on the image for the site.

Intro: Surf Rowing

2008-11-07T08:05:00.024+08:00

Surf Rowing = Coastal Rowing? Actually surf rowing differs from coastal rowing. The key difference being surf rowing is flagged off in knee deep rolling surf i.e. the beach, whereas coastal rowing events start off in calmer waters. Another dissimilarity is an experienced helmsman or 'sweep', a vital member of the crew. The helmsman/sweep (similar to flat water coxswain) steers the boat with a large paddle, much like a dragon boat helmsman. The sweep may be seated or standing according to personal preference and surf condition (as you will see in the video), where else in coastal rowing the cox is seated at all times like in ordinary flat water rowing (the kind we do). So when is URC taking to the high seas? The video after the jump was put together by UK Surf Rowers League (UKSRL). Hit "Read more" to catch the video.

Learn To Row Right

2008-10-22T17:25:00.023+08:00

I stumbled upon a PDF document on common mistakes by rowers. I've found at least 3 of my own mistakes here. Here's an excerpt:

IMPROPER POSTURE
Many oarsmen row with improper posture in the boat. Most
commonly, the error comes in rounding the back, which
causes the shoulders to rise, the chest to sag, and the lower
back to slump.

Click on the PDF icon after the jump. Hope it helps!

Hi everyone,

Visha here and I'll be one of the new admins for the blog. The other is Fatehah I believe. Will do my best to get things up ad running again, although I'm quite new to blogging. Before I begin, i would like to congratulate the new Board Members on their postings (I'll put up the list ASAP). The first thing I've done is remove the broken video links. Next, I'm putting up a poll to ask your opinion on changing the blog's address to unitenrowing.blogspot.com. Personally, I find the current one too long. There are other technical reasons for this which I do not want to discuss right now. So, please vote in the Poll above the chat box.

Till the next post,
Visha

UPDATE: The powers that be have stipulated that the address shall remain. The technical issue part involves Google services that I've been wanting to incorporate in the blog (Calendar, Picasa etc.). Worked around those. I've already dismantled the poll box.

UPDATE #2: Brand new blog theme. Hope it goes down well. Still a few minor kinks to iron out. Other than that, this looks like a good start. Unless ada yang tak puas dengan theme baru. Hehehe.

Dinner With Shiga University (Japan) Rowers

2008-08-09T23:22:00.007+08:00

Tonight UNITEN rowers had dinner with SHIGA UNIVERSITY rowers at D'Tasik Restaurant. We all had a very nice dinner although at first everyone looked so shy to talk to each other. We all ate Tom Yam, Chicken Soup, and also Sate which was prepared by UNITEN rowers for SHIGA University rowers.

Everyone was so happy and always talk about Japanese culture, both Malay and Japanese languages and even talking about experiences in rowing. At one time all of us sang Kiroro Miraie song together accompanied by Samboria band from D'Tasik Restaurant.

At the end of the dinner, Shiga rowers gave souvenir and origami to each of UNITEN rowers and UNITEN rowers gave T-shirt and even Malaysian currency in return.

Finally we all had a photography session together and the dinner ended with happiness and joyful.

UNITEN Rowing Invitational 2008

2008-08-07T01:37:00.008+08:00

Uniten Rowing Invitational is about to begin in a few hours from now. There are a lot of participants from various local universities such as UTM, MMU, USIM, UTHM, UM and Uniten. Not to mention, there are also participation from universities outside Malaysia such as from Phillipines and Hong Kong. The passion of rowing can be felt now among the athletes or in other word called ROWERS.

Hopefully, in the year 2008 we can bring the trophy back to Uniten because Uniten have organized this event for about 3 years and Uniten never brought back the trophy since lost to UTM all those days. So hopefully, we can increase our spirit and enthusiasm to beat every single universities. NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!

Any updates will be informed here in this blog for these coming three days since URI will be started from 7 August to 10 August.

GOOD LUCK TO US ALL!!

NO MORE MASUM

2008-04-23T22:33:00.003+08:00

I'd like to take this opportunity to inform everyone that we from UNITEN are not going to enter any events in MASUM from now on. All sports which are organized by MASUM will only be participated by IPTAs. IPTSs have been excluded from MASUM and will only compete in an even just like MASUM but we call it as MASISWA. This update was given by the MASUM Technical committee.

By all means, we are not going to participate in any events in MASUM 2008.

UPDATE: We attended MASUM 08 after a last minute invitation was sent out to us. Results will be in the next few posts. We will be attending future MASUMs (i.e. 2009).

Centralized Training 2008 -Final day report-

2008-04-13T20:49:00.007+08:00

Today is the last day of the Uniten Rowing Club centralized training. Since the training started on last Monday(7/4/08) until today, everything went well and organized. The numbers of participants also not bad with around 35 participants, the total numbers of senior rowers and junior rowers, successfully finished the training.

Before the centralized training ended this evening, all of the particpants ate at the Kelab Tasik Putrajaya restaurant and thanks to Wani's father because all of the meal were on her father. Then after that, coach Ibrahim had a couple of things to say before he officially ended the centralized training. He said he is very satisfied with this centralized training compared to the previous one last year. For him, this centralized training was the most succesful training so far since the establishment of Uniten Rowing Club 3 years ago. Everyone gave good cooperation, enthusiasm and work as a team to went through the centralized training.

We will be having our next training in few weeks time or maybe the training will be started 3 weeks before MASUM. Therefore I hope every Uniten rowers can maintain or perhaps can even increase their fitness level. So that later it will be easy for our coach to select the best rowers to represent Uniten in Rowing competition in MASUM 2008.

All the best and happy holiday!!

Free & Easy - Centralized Training 2008

2008-04-12T22:56:00.008+08:00

On last friday (11 April 2008), the coach had given all of the centralized training participants an off training day. In the morning of the day, all participants were needed to attend a fitness test which was involving 7 level test, bridging and 2.4 km run within 12 minutes conducted by the Sports Unit of Uniten(USK).

Right after friday prayer, all of the team members gathered at MPH around 3 pm and went to Aktif Futsal in Bangi for a futsal session between members. The futsal session ended at 5 pm. At night there was another activity which was planned earlier by Saifullah and the gang. The activity was watching movie entitle Street King at GSC, Alamanda. All of the participants also had dinner at the Alamanda Food Court before watching the movie.

Everything ended with happiness among the members =)

Happy holiday!

2008-04-05T23:50:00.003+08:00

Sem 2 2007/08 final exam was officially finished today. After spent almost 4 months with reading, assignments, lab reports, tests, quizzes, experiments and projects, now the time for enjoy has come.

I want to take this opportunity to wish all Uniten students especially Uniten Rowing Club members a happy holiday. Those who are not going to take special semester will be having 3 months of holiday so enjoy your 3 months from now and those who are going to take special semester you have 2 weeks only to enjoy ur holiday. But, for those rowers who will be participating in centralized training, dont be sad because you have to feel honoured that you might be representing Uniten in MASUM competition which is on 14th May 2008. Take this opportunity to improve your rowing technique and experience.

Happy holiday again!!

Centralized Training

2008-04-05T23:34:00.004+08:00

7th April 2008 will be the first training day for Uniten rowers as a preparation for 2008 MASUM Competition. This centralized training will be held for about one week. Uniten Rowing Club coach, Mr Ibrahim says that this centralized training will be focusing on technique rather than fitness. Because he says that to improve fitness level within one week is ridiculous, therefore we should spend this one week by focusing on row technique so that all rowers can improve their rowing skills. He also said that, he has mentioned long ago to all rowers to improve their fitness level and now they can just maintain it. So there should not be a problem with fitness level.

This centralized training will be started with cooper test which is handled by Unit Sukan (USK) Uniten. Another cooper test will be held at the end of the centralized training. This test is to check the fitness level of all rowers. All technique training will be organized at the same place as ever which is at Tasik Putrajaya.

Lastly, I'd like to wish good luck to every rowers which are participating in this centralized training and try to give your best shot. This might be your last competition before u graduate, so all the best. Try to get as many medals as we can and hopefully we can increase the number of gold medals this time.

Enjoy your training,

best regards

Participants are concentrating during clinic

The event was started by setting up booth for registration. The registration day was opened for three days in a row starting from 29,30 and 31st of January. There were almost 30 persons have registered to attend the Rowing Clinic. Bravo to them for taking the first nice step to achievement.

The first day of rowing clinic which was on Saturday was held in COIT. For the first day, the module were to expose and explain to all participants what is rowing all about. How does it work, the history of Uniten Rowing Club, all the achievements by the club, the differences between rowing, kayaking and canoeing and etc. In the evening on the same day, ergometer session was organized so that the participants can feel how is the feeling during pulling the ergometer. They did a great job. Some of the participants did very well.

The next day of the event was the day that every participants including crew of Uniten Rowing Clinic were waiting for. The whole day on this day was performed at Kelab Tasik Putrajaya. All of the participants were very excited to try rowing. After they have spent one full day of learning on what is rowing all about, now its the time to show their skills. Untill the end of the event, obviously, we can see the satisfaction on each of the participants face. They were really really enjoying the event and thats what we were hoping as the organizer.

World Rowing Junior Championships

2008-01-10T23:12:00.000+08:00

History
The first FISA Junior Regatta for men was held in 1967 and women were included eight years later following on the heels of women’s rowing being added to the Olympic Games in 1976.

General Description
Traditionally just under 50 nations take part in the championships with over 600 juniors competing at the 2005 World Rowing Junior Championships.
There’s no doubt the Junior Champs are exciting. There is a spirit of youthful exuberance that cannot be faked. It’s the unrestrained display of joy as athletes win their races. It’s also the absolute devastation on the faces and words from the mouths of those who lose. It’s the family that travels - sometimes thousands of miles – to unite behind their siblings. It’s the tears shed by joyous coaches. It’s the absolute determination by parents to make sure they see it all.

The World Rowing Junior Championships see the launch of a number of future stars. It’s the biggest regatta for juniors and most of the competitors row internationally for the first time. Junior rowing is boosted by the “one Euro per seat” collected at each FISA World Rowing Masters Regatta, which helps to run junior development programmes.

Basic Rowing Technique

2008-01-07T20:38:00.000+08:00

It is important to realise that the rowing stroke is one continuous movement, with no pausing or stopping. It is possible to break it into four main parts, however:

Drive (power phase) – when the blades are in the water, and power is applied to push the boat along.
Finish (extraction) – getting the blade out of the water.
Recovery – moving back up the slide, getting ready for the next stroke.
Catch – dropping the blade in the water so power can be applied again.

Selamat Menyambut Tahun Baru 2008!!

2008-01-01T01:50:00.000+08:00

Assalamualaikum dan selamat sejahtera kepada semua. Saye, Mohd Muazan Mohsin, mewakili semua ahli dan anggota Kelab Rowing UNITEN ingin mengucapkan selamat tahun baru 2008 kepada anda semua. Semoga dengan kehadiran tahun baru ini akan dihiasi dengan keazaman dan kegigihan untuk menjadi lebih cemerlang, gemilang dan terbilang!! semoga berjaya!!

Raise your game: Drinking

2007-12-27T19:42:00.000+08:00

Manchester United dietician Trevor Lea, gave us his tips on drinking like a pro.

"Fluid intake is so important. It can be the easiest thing to get wrong, but it’s also one of the easiest things to correct. The fluid you lose through sweating essentially comes out of the blood. If you don’t replace that lost fluid, the blood turns thick and syrup-like.

"The problem with that is the heart has to try and pump this viscous blood around the body, but it does so at a slower rate and does not deliver the oxygen that we need. This can make you feel very lethargic and have heavy legs. It also isn’t able to wash out the waste products as it should do or carry the lactic acid away, which, when it builds up, can cause cramp.

"It’s difficult to put a figure on the number of litres you need on a daily basis, so you need to learn how to read the signs your body gives you. Those symptoms could include a dry mouth, thirst, headache, general tiredness and a low urine output. Taking fluids before and after you’ve trained and played matches will help to get your blood volume back up and also ensures it is the correct consistency. That helps delivery of new nutrients into your muscles so they recover.

"My advice to an amateur player is to ensure their fluid intake is at the optimum level. The weather, temperature and humidity within the atmosphere are very important.You also need to look at how much fluid you’ve lost through exercise sessions and make sure your body doesn’t get dehydrated."

Mini Bazaar

2007-12-25T23:43:00.000+08:00

Pada 17 dan 18 Disember yang lalu, mini bazaar telah diadakan di Admin (BA). Hampir kesemua persatuan dan kelab yang masih aktif di Uniten mengambil bahagian. Tujuan mini bazaar ini diadakan adalah untuk menarik pelajar-pelajar baru khususnya, untuk menjadi ahli dan bergiat aktif dalam kelab dan persatuan yang terdapat didalam Uniten. Kelab Rowing Uniten(KRU) juga tidak ketinggalan untuk mengambil bahagian dalam Mini Bazaar ini.

Pada hari pertama, disebabkan kekurangan pelajar yang berada di Admin menyebabkan suasana di booth KRU sunyi dan sepi. Terdapat hanya beberapa pelajar sahaja yang mengunjungi booth KRU. Namun, bilangan pelajar yang mendaftar pada hari pertama tidak mengecewakan. KRU juga menyediakan 2 ergometer untuk dicuba sendiri oleh pelajar-pelajar bagaimana rasanya untuk beraksi menggunakan ergometer. Kebanyakkan pelajar-pelajar hanya mencuba sejauh 200 meter kerana kebanyakkan mereka memakai baju formal dan takut berpeluh.

Pada hari kedua, suasana mula menampakkan keceriaanya apabila ramai pelajar mula mengunjungi booth KRU. Kebanyakkan mereka menunjukkan minat untuk menyertai KRU. Bilangan pelajar yang mendaftar pada hari kedua juga amat memberangsangkan. Krew KRU telah membuat Ergo Challenge yang mencabar kehebatan fizikal, stamina dan mental para pelajar. Krew KRU juga tidak ketinggalan untuk berergo mencabar satu sama lain dalam menghangatkan lagi suasana di booth KRU. Pada mulanya Biro Kecergasan KRU, Hassan memperoleh masa tertinggi dengan mencatat masa 1.40:7 untuk jarak 500 meter. Kemudian dipintas oleh Biro Editorial KRU, Muazan dengan catatan masa 1.40:4. Akhirnya Hafiz dan saifullah berjaya memintas untuk mencatat masa terpantas 1.37:8. Ada beberapa pelajar baru juga berjaya menunjukkan bakat masing-masing. Walaupun masih baru dalam mencuba ergometer namun terdapat beberapa pelajar berjaya mencatat masa yang amat baik. Tahniah dan syabas diucapkan kepada mereka.

Tetapi, ingin dinyatakan disini bahawa Kelab Rowing Uniten hanya memerlukan mereka yang betul-betul berminat dalam sukan ini. Sukan ini hanya untuk mereka yang cekal sahaja. Tahniah sekali lagi kepada mereka yang telah mendaftar dengan kelab ini. Diharapkan anda semua akan berjaya dalam mencapai kepuasan diri dan mengharumkan nama Uniten.

'The only easy day was yesterday'.

Pingat Emas Pertama Pasukan Rowing Uniten

2007-12-14T22:04:00.001+08:00

Pada kejohanan ASEAN Varsity Boat Race 2007 baru-baru ini, satu kejutan telah dilakukan oleh pasukan Rowing Uniten. Pingat emas pertama yang diperolehi melalui acara Men's Double Sculls telah menyilaukan mata ramai pihak. Akhirnya penantian Uniten sejak pasukan ini ditubuhkan 3 tahun yang lalu untuk memungut pingat emas tercapai. Bagi pendayung yang mewakili Uniten didalam acara ini, Adzale Ainudin dan Hassan, kejayaan ini merupakan kejayaan paling manis selama mereka bergelar rowers. Hasil titik peluh mereka berusaha dan berlatih akhirnya membuahkan hasil.

"Saya rasa bersyukur diatas kejayaan ini selepas berlatih dengan gigih selama ini," ujar Hassan. Beliau juga menyarankan kepada semua rowers Uniten untuk berusaha dengan lebih gigih selepas ini untuk melakar kejayaan yang lebih gemilang.

"Saya rasa amat gembira diatas kejayaan yang diraih selepas penantian selama ini," kata Adzale Ainudin. Beliau juga berkata untuk mendapatkan hasil yang lumayan, usaha gigih perlu demi memastikan apa yang dikejar diperoleh seperti selalu menarik ergometer sekurang-kurangnya 6km, 4 kali seminggu untuk memastikan tahap 'endurance' meningkat (Dahsyat betul..haha). Kedua-duanya adalah Biro Kecergasan Kelab Rowing Uniten (KRU).

Kejayaan ini diikuti oleh pasukan Men's Four Coxed yang dianggotai oleh Idham, Hafiz, En.Ibrahim, Saifullah dan Amal. Semua anggota Men's Four Coxed ini adalah antara rowers Uniten yang berpengalaman. Mereka juga kerap berlatih dengan gigih dan walaupun mereka tidak berlatih, mereka tetap hebat. Pengalaman luas mereka dalam sukan ini memang tidak boleh dipertikaikan lagi. Tanpa mereka, kemungkinan besar Uniten akan kekeringan perintis, akan tetapi diatas kesabaran mereka dalam berkongsi ilmu dan pengalaman, maka muncul perintis yang tidak kurang hebatnya sebagaimana yang ada sekarang. Walau apa pun, sekalung tahniah diucapkan kepada mereka diatas kejayaan ini.

Majulah Rowing untuk Uniten!!

All time ROWERs= Hugh Laurie (Dr House in da house)

2007-12-13T11:06:00.000+08:00

Dr. Gregory House....or well known as DR. HOUSE.

p/s: For those who dont know him....please jump off the window..hahaha

EARLY LIFE AND EDUCATION

Laurie was born in Oxford, England. His father, William "Ran" Laurie, was a doctor who also won an Olympic gold medal in the coxless pairs at the 1948 London Games. His mother, Patricia Laidlaw, died when Laurie was 29. Laurie was raised in the Presbyterian church. He was brought up in Oxford and attended the Dragon School, a prestigious preparatory school. He later went on to Eton and then to Selwyn College, Cambridge, where he achieved a Third-Class Honours degree in archaeology & anthropology.

Like his father, Laurie was an oarsman at school and university; in 1977, he was half of the junior cox-ed pair that won the English national title before representing England's Youth Team at the 1977 World Championships. Later, he also achieved a Blue taking part in the 1980 Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race. Cambridge lost that year by five feet (1.5 m). Laurie is a member of the Leander Club, one of the oldest rowing clubs in the world. One of the boats at Selwyn, his old college at Cambridge, is named "Laurie" in his honour.

Forced to abandon rowing during a bout of infectious mononucleosis, he joined the Cambridge Footlights, which has been the starting point for many successful British comedians. There he met Emma Thompson, with whom he had a romantic relationship and is still good friends. She introduced him to his future comedy partner, Stephen Fry. Laurie, Fry and Thompson later parodied themselves as the University Challenge representatives of "Footlights College, Oxbridge" in "Bambi", an episode of The Young Ones, with the series' co-writer Ben Elton completing their team. In 1980–81, his final year at university, Laurie managed to find time outside his rowing to become president of the Footlights, with Thompson as vice-president. They took their annual revue, The Cellar Tapes, written principally by Laurie and Fry, the cast also including Thompson, Tony Slattery, Paul Shearer and Penny Dwyer, to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and won the first Perrier Comedy Award.

ASEAN VARSITY BOAT RACE 2007

2007-12-12T20:34:00.000+08:00

Pada 20 November 2007 yang lalu, ASEAN Varsity Boat Race 2007 telah diadakan di Kompleks Sukan Air, Precint 6, Putrajaya. Pada kali ini, kejohanan yang diilhamkan oleh YAB Dato Seri Najib Tun Razak ini telah dianjurkan oleh Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi dengan kerjasama sekretariat MASUM manakala Universiti Teknologi Malaysia pula merupakan tuan rumah bagi acara berprestij tersebut.

Kejohanan ini meliputi acara mendayung dan berkayak. Terdapat dua kategori iaitu kategori universiti tempatan dan kategori universiti ASEAN. Terdapat beberapa acara yang dipertandingkan bagi kedua-dua kategori tersebut. Bagi kategori universiti tempatan acara yang dipertandingkan adalah seperti Man’s Single Sculls, Men’s Double Sculls, Men’s Four Coxed, Women’s Double Sculls, Woman’s Single Sculls dan Women’s Four Coxed. Tetapi bagi kategori universiti ASEAN terdapat hanya empat acara sahaja yang dipertandingkan iaitu Men’s Four, Men’s Eight Coxed, Women’s Four and Women’s Eight Coxed. Setiap daripada acara tersebut memerlukan para pendayung untuk mendayung dan bersaing sejauh 2km.

Bagi acara mendayung, sambutan yang diberikan oleh universiti-universiti tempatan dilihat amat menggalakkan berbanding pada kejohanan yang lalu jika hendak dibanding berdasarkan bilangan penyertaan. Disini boleh disimpulkan bahawa kejohanan mendayung ini mula mendapat sambutan dikalangan universiti-universiti tempatan umumnya dan para pelajar universiti tempatan khususnya. Antara nama-nama besar yang sedang menguasai arena mendayung ini ialah Universiti Malaya(UM), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia(UTM), Universiti Perguruan Sultan Idris(UPSI) dan juga Universiti Tenaga Nasional(Uniten). Pada kejohanan kali ini, Uniten juga tidak ketinggalan untuk menghantar pasukannya untuk bersaing dengan seteru-seteru utamanya seperti UM dan UTM.

Uniten telah menghantar para pendayungnya untuk bersaing dalam beberapa kategori seperti Man’s Single Sculls(M1X), Men’s Four Coxed(M4+), Men’s Four(M4-), Men’s Double Sculls(M2X), Women Double Sculls(W2X), Women’s Four Coxed(W4+) dan Men’s Eight Coxed(M8+). Kejohanan yang berlangsung selama lima hari ini telah menguji ketahanan setiap pendayung Uniten yang menyertainya dan telah memberikan pengalaman yang berharga untuk mereka agar dapat bersaing dimasa akan datang dan diperingkat lebih tinggi.

Selepas berusaha bersungguh-sungguh dan memberikan yang terbaik, usaha Uniten untuk menbawa balik pingat emas buat kali pertama sejak sukan mendayung ini diperkenalkan di universiti ini akhirnya membuahkan hasil. Acara Men’s Double Sculls(M2X) telah menggondol pingat emas dan mengharumkan nama Uniten sekaligus mencerahkan harapan untuk Uniten terus bersaing dikalangan pasukan-pasukan elit yang lain. Tidak ketinggalan, Men’s Four Coxed juga telah mengikuti jejak M2X dengan menambah koleksi emas Uniten. Women’s Double Sculls pula berjaya memungut pingat perak dan pingat gangsa pula diraih oleh Man’s Single Sculls dan diikuti oleh Men’s Eight Coxed yang bersaing bagi kategori universiti ASEAN.

Kejohanan ASEAN Boat Race pada kali ini telah memberikan impak yang besar dan telah memberikan keyakinan dan semangat kepada pasukan mendayung Uniten untuk berusaha dengan lebih gigih sebagai persediaan untuk menempuh kejohanan-kejohanan yang seterusnya biarpun diperingkat tempatan mahupun antarabangsa.

Pada 1 Disember 2007 yang lalu, pasukan mendayung Uniten, Men’s Eight Coxed telah menghiasi muka depan keratan akhbar Yo! Iaitu antara sisipan yang terdapat didalam akhbar Utusan Malaysia.

Senarai atlit-atlit yang mewakili Uniten:

1. Amal Othman (M1X) - Bronze. (M4+) - Gold

Hello rowers-rowers sekelian! So basically i did not update the blog for a really really really long time and I apologize...banyak kerja beb. Anyway, we had two very exciting competitions during the special semester which was MASUM and the 12th Merlion Singapore Rowing Competition...SINGAPORE BEB!!!! Semua orang pi shopping kat singapore....semua nak beli beg baru...including me lah...and approximately 4-5 people got high fever....tak tahu kenapa...bird flu kut...

I guess you guys must be wondering about the results...anyway, basically untuk MASUM our rowing team did a fantastic job! The 4+ boat and 8 boat got third place ( and jangan fikir yang there was only 3 boat racing....this was a real competition!!!!)....I guess all those training paid off!

At Singapore, amazingly, we also obtained a medal!! The 4- boat got a well deserved bronze medal!!! This is crazy considering the fact that yang compete tu semua hustler ( also got national players from vietnam, Iran, Indonesia, etc, competing in the event!!!!).

All in all, the two competition was a big success!!! We couldn't have done any better then but hope to improve in the time to come.

Ok lah ok lah...some of you guys might have been a bit pissed off or mad sebab tak dapat pi main rowing at empangan batu at hulu yam but at least we got to row ....right? Tapi seriously, rowing at empangan batu is without a doubt fun but its also very tiring...kalo tak percaya pi tanya budak budak rowing lama....sakit pinggang wei angkat bot at empangan batu...

Anyway, i am glad that everyone who attended the rowing clinic was able to do the 2km ergometer test because it will make my list longer!!! woo hoo!!!! Yang belum dapat bawah 8 minit tu ...takpe, you can improve and i know that you will eventually reach the target...it just takes a lot of work....very very hard work!!!! Now that we also have female rowers who have completed the 2km test, i will divide the ranking according to gender. So here is the ranking so far:

Ranking for men:

1.Afif ==> 7:31 minutes
2.Id ==> 7:39 ""
3.En.Ibrahim ==> 7:41 ""

2km ergometer time (men) ==> Update!!!

2007-02-15T20:16:00.000+08:00

Wow! What a day today! We have 3 new rowers that have completed the 2km ergometer test!!! They are acap panjang, cha and encik ibrahim (coach). Acap panjang ni suka main besi kat gim. Cha ni was actually a rower when he was in school!!! Encik Ibrahim ni boleh kira our coach and rows in the 4- boat (tapi belum menang lagi lah).We also have a few rowers that have improved their time. Epol shaved of a second to reach the 8 minutes target! Encik amal and mam improved their time by a huge margin. So here is the ranking so far:

1. Afif ==> 7:31 minutes
2. Id ==> 7:39 ""
3. En.Ibrahim ==> 7:41 ""
3. Anas ==> 7:47 ""
4. Kona ==> 7:55 ""
5. Gani ==> 7:56 ''"
6. Epol ==> 8:00 "" ==> improved by 1 second...target 8 minutes achieved!!!!
7. Faiz ==> 8:03 ""
8. Amal ==> 8:16 "" ==> improved by 43 seconds!!!!
9. Mam==>8:28 "" ==> improved by 20 seconds!!!!
10. Acap panjang ==> 8:28 ""
11. Cha ==> 8:28 ""

20 minutes ergometer training ==> Update!

2007-02-15T20:06:00.000+08:00

Yes! We have a new rower who has completed the painful (but fun!) 20 minutes ergometer test. Id has achieved a remarkable distance of 4951 meters...just 49 meters short of the target 5km!!!! We have a rower yang tak puas hati with this distance because he was beaten by 100 meters....this spirit of competition will hopefully fuel the desire to achieve their very best!!!

1.Id ==> 4951 meters ==> 49 meters of the 5km target distance.

2. afif ==> 4851 meters ==> 149 meters off the 5 km target distance.

3.kona==> 4601 meters ==> 399 meters off the target distance.

***the picture you see is our current record holder Id...tengah busy layan internet....

20 minutes ergometer training ==> Update!

2007-02-13T20:44:00.000+08:00

Just to update a bit on the 20 minutes ergometer training. So far, only two rowers have completed the training regime. The distance achieved by the two rowers is as listed below:

1. afif ==> 4851 meters ==> 149 meters off the 5 km target distance.
2.kona==> 4601 meters ==> 399 meters off the target distance.

I understand that this training regime seems tough and a lot of you guys might not be willing to do it however, it is acually not as bad as it seems. As said earlier, the purpose of this exercise to to help maintain your stamina and not really power. Anyway, hope that you guys will try it out!

2km ergometer time (men) ==> Update!!!

2007-02-12T19:39:00.000+08:00

Just to update on the 2km ergometer test. We have a new rower who has completed the 2km ergometer test...our rowing club's president, Encik Amal!!!! Encik Amal will be the 9th rower to complete the 2km test. And also, our new rower Mam has improved his time significantly, by approximately 13 seconds. That would give us the following ranking:

1. Afif ==> 7:31 minutes
2. Id ==> 7:39 ""
3. Anas ==> 7:47 ""
4. Kona ==> 7:55 ""
5. Gani ==> 7:56 ''"
6. Epol ==> 8:01 ""
7. Faiz ==> 8:03 ""
8. Mam==>8:48 "" ==> improved by a whopping 13 seconds!!!
9. Amal==>8:59 "" ==>Not a really good time but a sub 9 minutes for doing the test for the first time is a good start.

20 minutes ergometer training

2007-02-11T09:47:00.000+08:00

This is another form of ergometer training. Instead of pulling the ergometer for a distance of 2km, we focus on the distance covered by continuously pulling the ergometer for 20 minutes. For men, the target distance is 5km (not really sure for women). In order to achieve the target distance, we can do simple algebra to calculate the average split time:

Lets assume that variable 'x' is the split time:

so, 20/x * 500 = 5000

==> x = 2.00 minutes/500meters

So in order to achieve the target distance of 5km, we have to maintain a split average of below 2. This might sounds easy but just to let you know, during the 2km ergometer test, a lot of our rowers go above the 2 minutes split average after the first 1km.

At the moment, the record distance achieved by one of our rower is 4796 meters which is just 204 meters shy of the target distance. The purpose of this exercise is to help the rower learn how to maintain their stamina, not really on power. I sure hope that you guys reading this will do this exercise. I would like to record the distance covered and post it in this blog.

This is our (unofficial) rowing coach!!

2007-02-10T11:12:00.000+08:00

A bit of info about our coach:

Rowing Training (Swimming)

2007-02-09T21:22:00.000+08:00

Rowing training in the form of swimming was conducted at the campus swimming pool. A 50 meter swimming test was conducted (oklah...for you guys yang selalu pi swimming, 50 meters is like nothing but for us yang jarang pi swimming, 50 meters is like 5km (><)!!!).

Our coach, Sir Aidil did a 100 meters swimming and achieved a remarkable time of 1:48 minutes!! Well, what to say, he is our coach...coach mesti lah POWER!!!!

2km ergometer time (men) ==> Update!!!

2007-02-09T19:50:00.000+08:00

Just a little update on the ergometer time for our Uniten rowers ( conducted at Kelab Tasik Putrajaya):

1. Afif ==> 7:31 minutes
2. Id ==> 7:39 ""
3. Anas ==> 7:47 ""
4. Kona ==> 7:55 ""
5. Gani ==> 7:56 ''"
6. Epol ==> 8:01 "" ==> improved by 1 second...2 more seconds to shave off...
7. Faiz ==> 8:03 "" ==> improved by 6 seconds...4 more seconds to shave off...

and introducing the 8th rower to complete the 2km ergometer test:

8. Mam ==> 9.01 "" ==> takpelah...baru first time buat 2km... Go MAM!!!! Remember...'the pain is in the mind!!!!'

Current 2km ergometer time (men)

2007-02-08T23:05:00.000+08:00

The current 2km indoor rowing (ergometer) time for our fellow Uniten rowers are as listed below:

1. Afif ==> 7:31 minutes
2. Id ==> 7:39 ""
3. Anas ==> 7:47 ""
4. Kona ==> 7:55 ""
5. Gani ==> 7:56 ''"
6. Epol ==> 8:02 ""
7. Faiz ==> 8:09 ""

Just for your information, the target time for men is below 8 minutes and for women is below 9 minutes. I really hope that you guys ( and especially girls!!!) out there who have never tried pulling 2km on the ergometer to do so as soon as possible so that I can record it in this blog. By doing so it would be much easier to monitor your progress. Anyway, happy rowing and remember...'the pain is in the mind!!!'
