It's not a typo, 'Trnka' really does have that few vowels. (BJ)

All that faffing with trestles and people to scull boats all over the place turned out to be pointless. It would have been nice if Catz had let us know... (BJ)

I got a bit worried when I saw them out training in a shiny Fillipi, whereas Hambleden is really quite soggy now. We rowed a pretty good race, they were just faster. I think the margin was about 8 seconds.

My opinion is that this was the hardest event I could've entered. They were only 15 seconds slower than the fastest men's double, in probably worse conditions. (Tom C)
