Rowing on the river Cam in Cambridge, UK
Three Champs 8+’s are having a leisurely paddle this Sunday at the Great Ouse Marathon (13.4 miles / 21.6 kilometres to be more exact) from Denver to Ely.
Rowan Burnsteins and Nick Gays boats (both seasoned campaigners in this event) are making the trip again, while Lydia Campbells boat will get to put order cialis 6k … 6k …6k … into action and find out who’s not been eating their weetabix.
Check back next week to see if marigolds really are a good idea for avoiding blisters.
Champs had a very successful trip to the British Masters Championships at the National Watersports Centre. Ten crews made the journey to Nottingham, returning with a club-record four gold medals.
Cecile Jacklin won the Women’s C Novice single sculls by 6 seconds over Upton RC.
The Sunshine Crew followed up last year’s victory in the Women’s C Novice eights with another impressive win, this time as IM3.
The Veteran Men’s eight won the D IM3s, beating Tees RC by just over a second.
And the Moonshine crew won the B Novice eights by 4.5 seconds over a determined X-press crew. The winning time of 3:16.4 was the fastest ever by a Novice eight at National Masters, smashing the previous record (set by X-press in 2009) by nearly 10 seconds. Here are some pictures of the race:
Champs Campbell crew will be racing in Masters Mens A/B 8+ at Henley Masters Regatta on Saturday 9th July.
We wish them the best of luck !
The Champs Campbell crew made the trip to Henley on Friday 24th june for the HRR Quallies. Although they didn’t make the cut, it was hailed a “great learning experience” by all, with a pledge to return next year to mount a serious challenge for the THAMES CHALLENGE CUP.
Find here YouTube footage of the TC Cup contenders pinging off the start. Champs are the 3rd boat away, of course in Black and Orange.
