[CUCBC Coxes] Tideway briefing

[Isabel Nimmo]

Dear Captains and Coxes,

This is only really of interest to those of you planning to race WEHoRR or
ManHORR.

Ro Thompson has agreed to run a briefing for any interested coxes on the
8rd of March (tomorrow) at 7:30pm. Racing on the Tideway is not like the
Cam - the stream makes positioning of your shell much more important when
racing, and marshalling is considerably more complex (though no less
chaotic...) I can thoroughly recommend this talk to anyone, whether they've
raced on the Tideway before or not. A link to join will be circulated later
today.

Ro has been coxing for 15 years, including three years training on
the Tideway with Vesta Rowing Club based in Putney. She has
four Tideway pennants, three from WeHORR and one from HORR. Whilst as Vesta
she coxed the top womens crew to 3rd and 4th place in WeHORR and raced
twice in the elite womens 8s event at Henley Royal Regatta. So she is
exceptionally well placed to offer guidance on handling racing on the
Thames.

I will absolutely be attending, and I'd strongly urge any college coxes
planning to race this year to come along too.

Apologies for the short notice, and hope you've all recovered from last week

Isabel
