On Saturday Clio, Chris, Em, Jamie, John, Malcolm, Neil, Tim and I all went off to Norwich to race in the Norfolk Sculls head. At 4600m, the main course is one of the longest in our area, and there are plenty of tricky corners and willow trees for scullers to steer round along the way. There is also a shorter course for juniors and novices.I had the pleasure of spectating on the bank for the first division, so saw Em, Clio, Tim, Chris and Malcolm speeding past in their singles...as ever there was stiff competition between the latter three! Then, in the afternoon the Cawthorns teamed up in a 2x and it was also my turn to take to the water in a double with Malcolm, while Clio teamed up with some girls from Norwich in a quad. John also joined in the 1x battle with Tim and Chris, while Em gave the shorter course her best shot again.
The Norwich club put on the usual great selection of food after the event, but even lots of cake didn't soften the blow of loosing out in the S3 mix doubles by a mere 3 seconds!!

Well done to everyone...and let's see if we can build on these results at the Carrow Cup in a few weeks' time.
