Distance: 1500m
Conditions: Headwind, sunny, slight chop.
Comments: In the 1st novice girls race, Exeter steered into Shrewsbury, stopped for several strokes, and recovered. Worcester was late for the race (transportation issues)and missed the start. The Exeter and Shrewsbury girls decided to do a row over for one thousand meters with the Worcester crew included. Less than 500 meters in, Worcester A caught a boat-stopping crab. Up to that point, Worcester was not far behind. Thanks to all crews for some exciting novice races, both boys and girls. Have a great finish to your seasons.
