Warwick Regatta 2010

It’s been a while since I last rowed so it was good to get back in the boat for Warwick Regatta.

Warwick’s a local primary regatta (no points) and they do a good job of making sure everyone gets a race. Both of mine were straight finals.

The first was a mixed four. I was nervous as hell but we managed a flying start and powered our way through to victory.

The second race was a mens four. We bided our time before boating due to a torrential downpour. Thankfully the wait paid off and we were treated to blazing sunshine infront of the castle wier. It’s worth going to Warwick just for that view. The start wasn’t as good and I felt very army; but we pulled through the Bewdley crew to win by a length.

So, two more shinny tankards for my shelf. In fact I think I have a enough Warwick pots now for a table set.
