Unfortunately, there isn't one at the present time. I used to coach competitive cycling but the local cycling club disbanded over what they considered excessive heavy handedness from the governing body. After that, I was an assistant coach with the local track & field club and lived vicariously through my son who was an international calibre rower. However, he eventually decided that it was smarter to finish his education and pursue a career, around which time I started photographing sporting events, primarily rowing, track & field and duathlons/triathlons. However, I don't even have those opportunities this year, due to Covid-19 cancellations. My wife particularly liked going to the rowing regattas and supporting the crews from my son's old university. She was devastated when the RCH and CURC regattas were cancelled this year.
