Norwich Head & Capsize Drill

Last weekend was another busy one for DRC...

Norwich Head, Feb 23rd - Clio bravely made the trip across the county boundary and up to Norwich to compete in both her single and a composite double, while Chris Jillings also flew the DRC flag in his single. Clio and her partner from Norwich did particularly well in their race, coming first in their category and second fastest in the whole division. Full results can be found on the Norwich website.

Capsize Drill, Feb 24th - David Hodgkinson organised an excellent session for us to all practice falling out of boats (I'll avoid too many jokes about his experience at that!) and he & Lewis Dann also gave us some basic CPR instruction. I certainly feel a lot more confident about the prospect of tipped out of a scull now (and it turns out that Oliver can knock out a pretty good drum roll when upside down in the water), but hopefully it'll be a while before any of us have to put our new-found skills to the test.
