Woodbridge 10km

Congratulations to Pete Gotts, Simon Hale, David Hodgkinson and Michael Streat who all joined me in the annual Woodbridge round the town run on Sunday.

Full results are posted here: http://www.woodbridgeshufflers.org.uk/

Provisional times are as follows:

Pete - 44:44 (82nd)
Michael - 47:34 (134th)
Simon - 50:59 (199th)
David - 51:54 (219th)
Anna - 52:22 (224th)

Pretty good for a bunch of rowers who are rather more at home on the water, than on the road!

Summer Racing ("...had me a blast!")

Hello! Hopefully the summer weather will soon be back to East Anglia and it's time to start thinking about enjoying sun and sculling at regattas in our area. Below is a list of some local ones in the next few weeks.

What to do if you're interested in competing:

1) Click on the links below to look at more details about each event
2) Check your diary to see if you're free
3) Talk to your DRC buddies to see if they fancy teaming up with you for any events
4) Tell your captain you're interested (she'll need
AT LEAST 2 WKS NOTICE)
5) Get practising your standing starts & sprint finishes (oh, and that middle bit too, where you settle into a steady rhythm and leave the others for dead!)


RACING KIT - remember for summer races, you need to wear either:

* club colours (red & yellow)
* black & white

If you don't wear the right kit, you could be disqualified...or might be mistaken for another club (ugh!). We will soon be doing another kit order, so watch this space for details.

Sat & Sun 16/17 June - Star Club Regatta (details available from AM if don't show on web)
