I won my first rowing 'pot' as they are called last week at the Wallingford head race (actually the town where we row). Oxford Brookes dominated all the races so much so that we were the only team at prize giving-a bit embarassing when every prize except one or two categories are won by the same club!! I was part of the novice 4 boat which raced the 5km upstream race-very wet and very cold, especially waiting at the start for 45 mins.
Michael Parkinson spoke at the Oxford Union on Tuesday and was interesting to get his views on the media, even though it is not my piece of cake.
I went to Wembley with a friend on Wednesday to watch the Barbarians vs Australia, which Australia won unfortunately!! It is an incredible stadium and so well laid out but there is a price to pay! a burger and chips is 7 pounds 60 and a pint is 3.80!! Good to be back in London again and going this weekend to see Lou and Bert, and then Caz and Bren on Sunday. Going to take the day off rowing. Had a massive weights session yesterday-5x50 for cleans, squats and bench pulls, after the run and jumps! took two and a half hours to finish.
Been working hard for exams which are just around the corner and then nearly time to go home on the 22nd!
