The beginning of another Autumn sees another Robs SBH. See here for the 2021 version. This year we had:

Meg, Lorraine, Manja and Dory entered as a 4x12:22.5).
Karen, Angela, Caroline and Shonu were in the 4+ with Manja coxing (14:23.2).
William, SimonE, PaulS and DaveR in the MasE 4x- (11:35.7).

Of the men: a decent start to the season. We had no practice beforehand, and a couple of brief bursts down the Reach sugegsted we should aim for 26; we did off the start, but (to me (WMC)) didn’t feel settled. We had a brief (a-la Harry) touch on the outside of First Post, which my GPS suggests cost us about 20 seconds, and then went to and stayed at 28, which felt better. Those 20 seconds also got us a Tabs double on our tail which gradually overhauled us and came past on the Reach; and just before the finish line a fast KCA pair.

Pic: afterwards, in Tischka’s.
