21 man session

So the first session went off well.
90% of participants completed the 3x10 before 18h00.

Present were (in approximate seating order on boat)
Thor
Bianca
Saskia
Nadine
Mandi
Gill
Des
Daggie
Kevin
Torsden
Yoshi
Yasmo
Toby
Tara
Mike
Jman
Vince
Ben S
JJ
Fayeg

Apologies: Craig S (sick), Craigus (work), Carol & Nicky (over seas).

Session focus was on Power and knocking off the rust.
Highlights were timing - very pleasing in the full boat.
Lowlights were weakish finishes (prob because boat is zippy and biceps/shoulders are not toned yet), and short striding (understandable, but not to persist!).

Ladies for Saturday
Confirmed: Des, Daggie, Bianca, Mandi, Gillian, Tara,
Not: Saskia, Nadine, Nicky
Maybe: Carol, Nazli, Faiza, Roisin, Sam, Susan, Karin, Hayley, (other novices I've missed), Sue & Angie?

Men:
Confirmed: Thor, Shane, Mike, Jman, Vince, Torsden, Kevin, JJ, Ben S, Martin, Craigus, Fayeg
Not: Toby, Craig S
Maybe: Igshaan, Iemraan, Nadir, (other novices I've missed).

Thursday is our last chance to pull together to do start patterns and sort out timing.
PLEASE let Thor know by email if you do not plan to come to a (any) session!
If you wish to race, and you missed Tuesday's session, please come to Thursday's session.

If you can't come to Thursday, or are injured, please come to the regatta anyway so you can see how it all works and help support the crew. We'll have a post-regatta lurk somewhere around there for good measure.

Much experience is gained from the "debriefs" (post-race discussions), race configuration discussions and general banter.
