8th of 13 in N1x, 42nd of 58 men's 1x
Time: 13:24
First attempt at the head course, or indeed any distance greater than 1k. Pleased with the first half - the guy behind (11:48) was a couple of lengths back at Ditton. After that it started to crumble, the wind was a bit gusty down the reach and knocked me over a few times. Then my right arm gave up, and the last 500 was reduced to a light paddle to keep me going in a straight line.

I reckon I lost 10-15 seconds going wide round the corners, but the main issue was falling apart towards the end. So let's do some longer pieces in training. (Tom C)
