UH Head: Pre-Race Report

This is it. The day we've all been waiting for. It's time to take on UH Head, the race that all those eye-watering ergs, all those early morning outings and night-time paddles, all those circuits and all the races we've had this year have been working towards. All crews have had their shares of victories and defeat this year; tomorrow it's time to bring together the lessons learned from all those occasions, work together as a crew and cheer on our fellow team mates. Let's show them what RUMSBC are made of and make this another night of domination. Middle! Middle! Middle!

​"It’s been a stressful week, struggling against the weather to get one final outing together as a crew before the big day: UH head. Despite the ice snow and wind, we’ve still been training hard! The novice girls are super excited for their first UH head race and ready to give 100% on the water. We smashed it at Newcastle, and know we have the endurance and power that we need. Now we’re on our home territory and nothing can stop us now!" - Nicola Skajaa, Women's Novice Captain 17/18
