Liverpool Regatta 6th May 2012

This was the Dragonflies second regatta of the year, and was held in the docks at Liverpool, the weather was bright and warm with little wind and at times the temperature climbed when the sun shone, as was evidenced by my forehead by those in the Anchor later on that night.

Liverpool was the second national league event of the season and the first of the shaken up format.

Apparently we have too much water. Despite our desperate need to get out and practice for Liverpool the river has other ideas. Do not fear though there is an alternative. Meet at the cadets at 6:45 we will do some inside training stuff including the ergs and hopefully a quick chat about how we'll deal with those pesky turns.
Please do come in sports kit. Parking is starting to get more restrictive near the cadets so please park a little further out and walk down and if possible car share rather than upset our neighbours.

On completion of my very first Henley winter series the attention had turned back to the national league, it was all sunshine and Severn. The disbelief that one could gain a tan in February/March was truly a pinch yourself moment. With the odd E-mail bouncing around for ERG trials and Barbeques and a quick glimpse at this year’s race dates and the first one is months away.
Concentration is focused on the ERG trials and aiming to get into the Dragons, so as much time as I can is spent on the either an O1 or a Paddle 1. Well the trials went well and I managed to surprise my biggest critic (Me) and actually be impressed that so many club members managed to pull good distances with the all singing and dancing brand new ERG.
