Afternoon division of day two at\u00a0 Monmouth Regatta<\/a>, 750m sprint races masters 2x competition for me.<\/p>\n

We met our competition from Gloucester earlier in the day and watched them compete in the masters 4x category, yesterday they won the masters 4x, however this morning it was not to be, they lost in the final to Exeter Rowing Club.<\/p>\n

Our race was originally scheduled for 15:32, although we managed to get it brought forwards slightly and actually raced at 15:24.<\/p>\n

Only the one heavy shower in the morning, then another shower just before we boated for our race, so really lucky with the weather today.<\/p>\n

With nobody offering to help us boat, Mark F and I headed down to the start on our own and paddled up to the start.<\/p>\n

This was my first time steering this course and was hoping we had the ‘middle’ lane so I would not need to worry about hitting any trees.<\/p>\n

It must have been my lucky day as we were assigned the ‘middle’ lane and once we had turned and arrived at the start were informed that we would have a 12 second head start.<\/p>\n
