Cooler grey morning and a bit windy but there were still singles in the boat house so a pleasurable start to a Friday #sculling on the Wear. The river is a bit of a mess especially above the regatta start where it's being dredged with a temporary (I hope) island in the middle of the channel. The only other disturbance was the grass bothe sides of the racecourse being cut again ready for Durham regatta. First Hexham tomorrow with I think a record eight trailers loaded last night.

Another #erg session as there was too much river in the river. Twice in a week is at least once too often. 35min Ut2 fingers crossed for a dry Saturday or it may be three sessions.

Monday #sculling on the Wear. The river was up and rising with a decent stream on. Warm up half trip then builds down to Elvet and a piece in thirds to The pool and back. Light by the time we came back with a few colleges heading out without lights. Birdsong and light, shorts and tee shirts not far off. It did start raining as we came off, we had the best part.of the day.

A decent row at Durham Head, we were beaten by two composites but beat our own best time on the course. The day started damp but cleared up but never felt warm. The two hour session on the safety launch after our race was missing gloves.

If it's not safe to get in the water at #today's #BoatRace, has anybody considered the #aerosols whipped up by the #rowers? Surely you don't want to breathe those in? #Oxford #Cambridge #rowing in #RiversOfShit
