On Saturday, it was WEHoRR again so we were back down to the Tideway to race. I think, this being my fifth year at the race, it is one of my top events in the racing calendar. This year I was a little less excited in the week preceding the race – despite having a really strong line-up, the crew just did not seem to be clicking.

On Saturday, a long awaited event finally took place: I completed my first The Fullers Hours Head of the River Race 2011 (HOR4s or Fours from this point forward). For several years I have tried to race that event only to be thwarted at for one reason or another.

The overnight visit to Odney was good. It was great to start getting involved with my new project and meeting the (very large) team of people. I am really raring …
