Why not a have a little fun with how your name is displayed on Strava.
As Strava currently only lets you chose your primary sport as Running or Cycling. How about adapting your name on Strava so that we can give rowing a bit more of a promotion in the Strava sports community.
Strava have recently activated the use of ’emoticons’ for use in activity titles. You can also use them if you are editing your name on your phone. So as we are rowers why not drop the little rower emoticon into your profile name.

A great way to show that you are a rower or have a love of rowing.
Upper Thames Masters have recently asked me how we could display what club we are from in Strava segment leader boards. An idea and another tweak to the Strava name would be to get rowers to add their British Rowing Boat Code the name. E.g. If you Row for Upper Thames add ‘UTC’ to the end of your first name. The BR three letter code is on the boats you Row in. This will then show in the name even if you restrict privacy to first name only.
As you can see I have had a play with my own name on Strava –
The easiest way to make these changes are in the Strava app, click on the profile tab at the bottom and then edit at the top, you can then edit your name.
