And so the flow of regattas returns, with the Radegund Mile, which turned into a Rad Bridge-to-Bridge (confusingly called 2.2 km on some early adverts) which we did, and a Rad short-course, for college novices mostly. There’s a copy of the results, reformatted, here; or for the old-skool types the original results here.

Of the men: we came 5th overall in raw time, and only narrowly missed coming fourth, in 7:30, defeating our evil enemy the Aquaphobes, and our even more evil enemy Tabs W1 by a full 6 seconds, and destroyed our not-so-evil “enemy” Queens’ W1 - a somewhat eccentric draw saw us placed behind them, so we gave them an enoooormous gap, aided by a strange failure of Conor’s footplate on the start line.

Of the women: “Bubble bath” was second CRA VIII (including masters adjustment) behind… Tabs W1, with 8:48 raw. And Dawn bravely sculled the course in her first racing-as-sculler ever.
