The boys headed off for a weekend of seat racing/pain for crew selection for the HORR. For a change the weather was not too windy, or not too cold and with a few teething problems (like not doing up the riggers...) it all commenced. Just as it was all getting in to a good rhythm, the coxes decided to spice things up a bit, and we all know that 'rubbing's racing!' but driving into each other is a step too far, especially when it results in the breaking of oars! - quite how you manage to collide down a buoyed straight course is beyond me - women driver eh?!? Probably the reason the girls go for male coxes!!
Reports are that it was all very close, which means there should be some good competition, and hopefully some close racing between the two crews. If you want to know the lineups, then I refer you back to a previous post, and you can work out if they fit the seat?!?
Oh, and while the boys were out racing the girls took the opportunity of the boys being away and went out for some dancing... No guesses where they ended up!!!
