Just a quick one for now, it's about 1.30pm, just over 4 hours to race time for our first race against Nottingham and Union Boat Club. Apparently they are quite confident, which suits us just fine. We had a short paddle last night, probably not a great session, bit of tension, but nice to have it out of the way.
Nicole and particularly Cindy, have been looking after us in fine style, making sure we are well fed and hydrated. This morning we have all been down to the course for a short session on the ergo, we have chosen to avoid the traffic jam on the river and are now back at the house for food and an afternoon nap.
The course is astounding this morning, thousands of people in their finery, strolling the riverbank, listening to race radio (with all the commentary, opinions, etc), and of course, drinking plenty of Pimms. Hopefully some of our photos will partially convey the atmosphere. Apparently today is nothing compared with what to expect on the weekend.
I'm off to sleep, we'll hopefully have some good news for you all later this evening.
Cheers, Drew
