Mass gatherings were capped at 100 people under level 2 restrictions. Rowing NZ was continuing to evaluate options for a possible reduced regatta programme to begin on Thursday should restrictions be lifted. James said the rest period was actually good for energy levels, as training typically tapered off prior to a big event. “We ve just been handed an extra two to three days of taper ,” he said, adding that Twizel was “a lovely place to be at this time of the year”.

“Logistically it is pretty difficult, but we all follow the same programme that either Keiran or I set for the rowing machine to keep that ‘rowing’ fitness going,” said Ryan. Competing together was a very easy decision he said: “How often do you get the chance to race with all your brothers in the same boat?” According to Keiran, the ‘brothers’ boat came about by accident. “Ryan and Shae were classed as senior rowers after 2019 and Keiran and Hayden after a 2-year stand down were graded as club, so we weren’t planning on racing the same boat,” he said.

The regional council Environment Canterbury, along side the Upper Waitaki Water Zone Committee, launched a campaign saying one poo can close the lake .
Committee chair Simon Cameron said it will be even more important that everyone does their bit to protect water quality this summer, as Covid-19 international travel restrictions are set to boost lake-side camping and tourism. We ve heard that campgrounds are already fully-booked, so we know there will be a large number of people visiting and being active in and around our lakes. That increases the risk of the bacteria E.coli getting into our lake swimming areas by someone not using the toilet or not disposing of dog poo.
