In all the excitement over this last weekend, it was easy to forget that there's plenty more to come at the end of this week... and I'm not just talking about the Boat Race, the Malaysian Grand Prix or the 1974th Anniversary* of the Resurrection of Chocolate [Christ, surely...? Ed.].
(*Assuming he was about 33... )
It's "DW" again, and it's not too late to email me if you want to make a sponsorship pledge for Anna and her crewmate. This year, the school's crews are all raising money for the Meningitis Trust. If you'd like to make a pledge, for whatever amount, just drop me a line: racingsnake at sun dot com.
Remember - if you pledge enough, it can really make those 125 miles flow by. (Actually, that's a lie... only an outboard motor can do that, realistically speaking - but I know the crews like to feel that someone, somewhere will benefit from their pain).
Here's a photo of one of the more spectacular river features. This is Boulter's Weir, near Maidenhead... and no, they don't have to canoe over it. It's one of the 77 portages the crews have to undertake.
Low point (for the crews): lots of duck poo where you have to put your hands when disembarking.
High point (for the support crews): very nice loos in the park.
