Belgian Rowing Championships

As usual, last week-end of September is the Belgian Rowing Championship in what is called the long boats, that is to say fours and eights. We participated in both 4- and 4x.
4- was really though, no training in that combination and not used to row; 4x was better and wasn't it for the waves the umpire did manage to make for us from the 1.000m onwards, we could have raced a good 2.000m. We kept with the very strong boat of GRS for more than 750m but ... finished second again. Thanks to my clubmates, Kris, Leen and Guebli!

Hi Pat,

I know that you are not satisfied, but congratulations anyway! Belgian Vice-Champion sounds really impressive - at least to me.... ;-)

Keep smiling
