Al Heathcote: 2hrs 58mins 36seconds

Charlotte Godber: 4hrs 21mins 24seconds

Charlotte says, “Marathon was good… I beat Jordan, that’s the main thing. But I did have a bit of a Jordan moment in that I thought it was a square 40 Kms, so that extra 2.195 kms took me a bit by surprise. I ran the whole way (bar the bottlenecks) and finished in 4hrs 21 mins and 24 seconds! Beating Steve Redgrave’s time (although he probably did BBC interviews on the way). Got a little bit of sun stroke and some achey legs, but will be fit to row any minute now…”

The novice men were also racing, but with difficult draws their crews in the 8 and 4 lost to the eventual winners.

Congratulations!

This year we have been very lucky with our coaching team, welcoming a whole bunch of new coaches to the club.  Elise Laverick (double Olympic bronze medallist), ever loyal to Thames, has joined, along with GB squad friends, Al Heathcote (Olympic silver medallist), Carla Ashford and Baz Moffat (both world bronze medallists).  All of our squads have benefited from their extensive knowledge of rowing-specific training, including motivation, nutrition, weight training, stroke profiles and race preparation.

We have also welcomed Will Robins as our new Juniors coach.

These are all in addition to our established seasoned and committed coaching team.

Results are here.

Sarah Park, TRC Captain in 2007/08, won the annual £500 draw, at the Annual Dinner on 5th December.  Emma James, TRC Captain 2006/07 won the December draw.

Want to join in?
The idea is simple. Every month you pay £12.50 by standing order into the 150 Club account (12 x £12.50 = £150) or you can make out a cheque once a year for £150 to be automatically entered into the prize draws. There will be a monthly prize draw for £150. The 150 Club will also have a grand prize draw of £500 once a year. You have to be a member of the 150 Club for a minimum of 9 months to be eligible for the big end of year draw – but if you pay for a whole year at once you can still enter!

The 150 Club will host a spring/summer annual event free to all members as a thank you for your kind support during the year.

Here’s how:
You can set up a direct debit for a monthly £12.50 or the annual amount of £150 (email James at the address below),  or you can make out a cheque for £150 to the “Thames Rowing Club Development Fund”.
