HRR Tuesday
“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”
—Theodore Roosevelt
An incredible start to HRR2026 with some excellent races, verdicts measured in feet and many demonstrations of an ever increasing standard of rowing. Six Marlow crews raced with the Wyfold and Thames crews prevailing to race again on Wednesday. Congratulations to the Marlow PE, Thames, Diamond Jubilee and Wargrave crews for some outstanding performances and never backing off. Chapeau to St Paul’s, R.V.Osnabrucker, Sydney and Thames.
Proud of them, proud for them, and proud to race in Cardinal Red with them.
A pleasure and a privilege to be able to participate in the ’s celebration of 50 years at Remenham Farm. Congratulations and many thanks to Tom, family and team.
