So, I was disappointed that we got knocked out in our first round at Henley Royal Regatta a couple weeks ago. My reluctance to write this post stems from that disappointment. So, I will not dwell on the result, only to say I thought we could have had our racing heads on a little more securely but ultimately we did row technically well. We had a close race with the New Zealand crew, who were then beaten by Australia by 1/3 of a length who went on to win overall. The draw really is luck of the draw, and unfortunately we had some tough competition in the first round, but that is how it goes at Henley!
Now we are back into winter style training whilst we prepare for Europeans in 2+ months. No regatta racing between now and then, just internal racing against other GB European bound boats of different boat types.
Time to get the head down!
