Christ Church Regatta, Day One

If you have been following my blog this term, you might have caught on to the slight bent towards the Christ Church Regatta. Well, fear not for it is upon us at last.

Day one was yesterday. Our first race put us up against another novice boat from St. Peter's College. We did well right off the start and were able to win without any problems. (The above photo is post-victory.) It felt great and it was a good way to start the week. The Regatta is meant to last four full days. However, bad weather today (it hailed!) and the prediction of the same for tomorrow, has thrown a spanner into the plans. Now the race course has been shortened and will proceed on Saturday in a sudden-death head-to-head format. The race was already a sprint and now even more so.

Onto Saturday!
