Oxford v Cambridge on the river Thames, is something you would expect to be quite a spectacle. Naturally, good old London weather didn’t help with that...
A windy and rainy day saw Karyn, Martin and myself on the banks of the Thames by the Hammersmith bridge for the race. Loads of spectators still turned out, although it was hard to see beyond all the umbrellas.
With Karyn ‘chaired’ upon both Martin and my shoulders, our view was somewhat restricted. I saw a coxswain and tail of a boat through the gap between two heads further in front of me before it was all past us. We then headed down to the nearby park and big screen to watch the rest of the race.
After that it was a bit of a tour of the nearby pubs for the evening.
A week and a half to the London Marathon, so now’s the time folks - I still need just under a £1000... http://www.justgiving.com/aussierunner
