Your roving reporter was up close to the action today at the Club’s 5km time trial, passenger in one of the racing boats. Massive thanks to Dave Webb and his team of marshals and timekeepers who sacrificed the pleasure of racing to make the event run smoothly.
We welcomed a crew from Sabrina; they won’t be asked again as the whooped our crews banging in a great time (Ed: note to reporter, jot down the stats next time you numpty).
A great turn out with boats of all sizes and crews from juniors to seasoned masters.
Dave’s organisation exceeded all expectations by delivering perfect race conditions, flat calm, cool but not too cold and a stream that behaved itself.
Thanks to Chef Trevor for the post race bacon butties and hot drinks.
