HoRR 2022 crew selection

Good evening Cygnets

Hope you all are well and training all going to plan, let’s keep at it and keep the lights on the shed as we get towards the end of Heads Season and on to Regattas – that momentum and consistency is really key for maintaining and making the most of the excellent gains since September.

Please keep up with the ergs and weights programme as far as you can.

Head of the River Race (HoRR)

I am very pleased to announce the crew below which will form our entry for HoRR on Sat 26^th March.

We are only able to field one entry for the race, which means crew selection has been competitive and based on performance and participation, as judged by a combination of strength, length and commitment during Heads season in recent months.

Even if not selected below, thank you for your efforts and work in training, these do not go unnoticed. There is a further opportunity to race at Vets Head, details below.

Cygnet 2022 Head of the River Race: Crew Selection

Noel Davidson 8+
Megan (Cox), Matt G, Cris, Dom, Pete, Mustafa, Whit, Rupert, Anders

I am really pleased that we have a strong entry and delighted with the progress we have made, as demonstrated at Quintin and then Hammersmith head. Kudos to you all for keeping up the training and everyone who has remained active and engaged throughout the season. This sets us up well not just for HoRR but for the summer too.

Veterans Head of the River Race

If you’re not listed above, there is still an opportunity to race, with our second entry of the weekend in Vets Head on 27^th March, action required.

We have an 8+ entered for Vets Head, which will race alongside our Veterans crew, if we have enough people to enter a raceable squad boat. Please can I therefore ask, that if you have not been selected for the Saturday but still want to race, to sign up for Sunday 27^th on Fitclub. There is an age requirement that you must be 27 or older or turn 27 this year.

I need this by noon on Saturday, as entries close on Monday – if we don’t have a crew to field we will need to withdraw the VHoRR entry.

Well done to the HoRR Crew, please put yourself forward for Vets Head if you are interested in racing, well done for keeping up the training. As a squad and a club we’ve got much to take pride in, all of which is down to you and the efforts of our excellent coaching team.

Any questions or thoughts, please do get in touch with me or with Beth.

On we row Cygnet.

Rupert
