2016 HOTY

I'd described our 2016 HOTY as the race we deserved.  When a crew only manages three rows together before an event then the result will be ordinary.  That coupled with less than optimal fitness (including me).   We came second last in our division. 


2016 started well enough.  We had the usual get together to talk about commitment and then all managed to organise business meetings, holidays and illness.

At the start of the year I was regularly doing weights in the RQ gym and after the Urban Rowing Regatta, I switched to having an Exercise Physiologist (personal trainer) at Urban Rowing.




Agh looking at myself in 5 seat.
Straight inside arm.
Hand grip too wide.
This will mean outside (stroke side) shoulder down.
Contributing to the unbalance that is a characteristic of our boat.


4 boats head into Big Bend.  We were the first but slowest.  Two crews outside us pushed us into BBC on the inside. 
Here is the BBC oar about to decapitate my camera.

Windows 10 stop wake on mouse

My Toshiba windows 10 laptop wakes from sleep and gets hot and wastes the battery.  I think it is because of the mouse moving in the bag.

Based on this
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-power/windows-10-cannot-disable-the-mouse-from-waking/706340c2-1fcc-4cd0-b747-c736d8a31b34?auth=1

But changed.
Note
a) Use a forward slash as the switch "/"
b) Discover the name of the mouse

  1. Press Windows key + X
  2. Click on Command Prompt (Admin)
  3. Type powercfg /devicequery wake_armed and press Enter
  4. The computer responded:
         HID-compliant mouse
      HID Keyboard Device
      HID Keyboard Device (001)
  5. Type powercfg –devicedisablewake "HID-compliant mouse" and press Enter
  6. Restart the computer and check if issue persists.
