30 January 2010 - Quintin Head

There was a definite air of excitement in the Barnes Bridge changing room this morning as the 3 BBLRC crews got ready for their first race of the 2010 calendar.  The 3 crews were rowing in the Novice, IM2, and IM1 categories.

The conditions were pretty good for racing and after some argy bargy on the slipway whilst queuing to get on the water, all of the crews happily made their way up to the start.  The marshalling before the race as always created some fun for the coxes, with one boat asking me if I knew what I was doing?  The cheek!  Followed by the cox of the Thames Novice crew giving me helpful hints on how I should position my boat - but we showed them.

The results speak for themselves, we had a great day!!  Plus we have the first Pennant of the year to display in the Bar

Novices Category winners!!  If only they know at this point how tired they would be in another 14 minutes

After race getting the boat out - this was the hardest manoeuvre of the whole day!
