Simon and Jake will be competing in this years British Indoor Rowing Championship the world's biggest indoor rowing race and the largest indoor sporting event in the UK, with over 2,000 competitors racing at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham on Sunday 22^nd November 2009. It takes place in a high-octane environment with races going on throughout the day where competitors race up to 2,000m in the quickest possible time, and it provides a stage for indoor rowing enthusiasts to test themselves on a national level and assess their own performance and progress.

The championship also attracts sporting legends and stars, and over the years has become an integral part of the training and selection programmes for both the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race crews, and the British rowing squad.

They are training very hard to do their best on the day and all the money they raise will help provide speech and language therapy for the Swindon Down's Syndrome Group.
