Silver medal

I won a silver medal with my crew yesterday at the National Veterans Rowing Regatta. If I can't blow my own trumpet on my own web site, where can I?

We were racing in E quad sculls (Vet E 4x) for crews with an average age of, at least, 55 but we doubled up in D (over 50s) too and aquitted oursleves there by hanging onto the coat tails of the younger crews. Indeed we finished only half a length behind Tideway Scullers School, one of the top clubs in the kingdom, if not THE top club for sculling. Next event will be Henley Veterans' Regatta in Mid July.
