Head of the River 2006 rowing result
We had the race today on the Thames in London, 420 crews racing 4 and a half miles down the river past some of Londons most famous landmarks.
The crew I was in Oxford Brookes 2 was in fact our third crew finished 80th, we were quite dissapointed with the result especially when the other Brookes boats placed 10th and 16th. We did have a couple of last minute changes to the crew when one of our crew had to be replaced because of a family illness. That did not help matters but it is no excuse the crews get quite tightly bunched as there was 33 seconds difference between us and the crew finishing 16th they completed the course in 18 min 26 and we did it in 18 min and 59.
Anyway this week we have a 2K test on the rowing machine and we will be back into training getting ready for some of the summer regatta’s and Henley. I’ll add some photos when they are published on the web
