Old - but not so slow

After the youngsters tried their hand at the fours head on Saturday, it was the turn of the more mature oars people to have a go.

CBRC only had one interest in this race - and again a last minute substitution was required (many sources say he was still sweating cider from the night before!)

Well done to the old g*ts who manages to get over the course in fine fashion (despite being a scratch crew, and half the crew already having done the main event, rowing and drinking, the day before) finishing 11th overall, and were only 2 seconds off being the fastest CBRC crew of the weekend!!

If that is not a good reason for the senior squad to get on with the training I don't know what is!

Hmmm... mirror flat... no crews ahead of them... tail wind no doubt...

VERY similar conditions to the day before - not quite as rough, but more of a head wind once through Hammersmith!

That is what you get when you start off second...

Dear "youngster", is this the smell of sour grapes?

Where do you get 2 seconds from the fastest time from...???

Vet 4x 21 mins 44 secs
S2 4- 20 mins 10 secs

Is this some sort of veteran spin

It'll be their eyesight going...

I think you will find - if you look more closely, the 21 min 44 seconds was the vetC 4x from 2005!!

This year the vetB 4x finished in 20 min 12 seconds...

I think it is you that needs the eye check!!!

Next time a little respect to your elders!!

And the crew wasn't even tipped in the Gurt Lush stakes.

If you want to place a bet then put your money on a vet

No sour grapes here.
After all... 2 seconds is still 2 seconds.
It's very similar to 2nd place (punter) :)

Well done gents, 2/4 in your category too.

what is wrong with a few old men being happy and content that they can still keep up with the youngsters!?!
