Rowing Bristol Head race
This is me in my first rowing race for over 8 years – all the rest of the guys were under 30! so not too bad for a middle-aged baldy! I thoroughly enjoyed the event and forgot the cold. My family came to support – there were lots of people cheering from the banks – it was great fun. Rowing is really about working together to achieve a common goal and every one of us were nervous at the beginning and exhausted by the end of the race.
I took up rowing back in Sep 09 and have loved the training – but it’s great to compete! I’m in the no. 3 seat (which for those initiated is 3rd from left as you are looking at photo) with woolly hat and grimace on face.
