WS 2021-22 Race 2: Cambridge Results

5/12/2021

0 Comments

 
After an early promise of some sunshine the day proved cold and rather damp.  There were still some punts about to add an extra challenge to the proceedings as the race wound its way through the historic backs.
Picture
As usual almost a quarter of the competitors had come to take part in the doubles race, which this time had a sufficient number of MC2s participating to justify a separate start.

The next race will be at Chelmsford on 9th January.
The numbers for the Cambridge race were swelled by a large number of paddlers from the home club to make 128 competitors in total.  This was reflected in the team score for Cambridge CC of 143 points, so that they finished second behind the team from Chelmsford CC (198 points) but well clear from Bishops Stortford CC in third place (115). 
The full race results (including points totals to date) are on the Winter Series results page and some photos of the race on Flickr here.

WS 2019-20 Race 2: Cambridge Results

It was a bright but chilly day for the Cambridge marathon and the race proved as popular as ever, with pre-entries at one point approaching 180 competitors. A few were unable to make it on the day leaving 154 participants - still a very high turnout.
Picture
Numbers of doubles entries on the long course, which up to 10 years ago did not routinely make double figures, have been steadily rising over the last few years.

The Cambridge race saw the largest doubles entry yet with 30 boats taking part in Class 9, necessitating a split start. Amongst these was a team from the Royal Hospital School who, being composed mainly of novice juniors, were the highest scoring team of the day for Dick Grieve points by a wide margin.
The home team were able to muster a large team themselves and secured a very well-deserved second place overall, behind the inevitable winners Chelmsford CC.

It was good to bring the Winter Series back to Cambridge after a year's break. The race  was particularly well-supported, with a total of 146 competitors drawn from 13 different clubs, as well as several independents.
Picture
The size of the senior K2 class, which has been increasing steadily over the last ten years, reached a record 25 boats at this race.
Numbers of Canadian canoe entries were particularly good thanks to the welcome return of the Paddlesport Racers Association and Hemel CC.

WS 2015-16 Race 1: Cambridge results

Lovely autumn weather for the opening race of the season at Cambridge turned out to be a mixed blessing as it left the competitors dodging punts all the way through the backs.

This popular race was well-supported with 133 competitors. There were particularly large fields and a high standard amongst the long-distance K1 and K2 races, which were hotly contested.
Class 2 starts
An earlier than usual race start, coupled with slick and efficient operation by Donna and her organising team at Cambridge made it possible to have an excellent days racing and finish the prize-giving with time to spare.  Race results can be found on the WS Results page.
The next race will be taking place at B. Stortford on 15th November.

The Winter Series is starting slightly earlier than usual this year, and at a different venue! The first race will be at Cambridge on Sunday 25th October. Booking in for this race will be open from 9:00-10:15 for an 11:00am race start - but please remember that this is the day that the clocks change to GMT. There will be a running race taking place in Cambridge - see the race page for advice.

Paddlers, please find out from your club who your Team Leader is and let them know in advance that you intend to race. Team Leaders, please register with the FRA Secretary as soon as possible using the
Team Leader Registration Form.

A poster showing all the dates and the race classes can be downloaded here:
WS Poster 2015. The seat fee remains £5 per person.

The classes and rules are largely the same as last year (see them on the Winter Series page), but the notable changes for 2015/16 are:
  • Class 5 (K2 F 16+) has been discontinued due to low participation. The former ladies K2 trophy will be awarded to the fastest all-female or mixed crew in Class 1 (K2 16+)
  • Each club must register a named Team Leader prior to their race entries being accepted.
  • Competitors may enter as "Independent", but see the Race Rules for conditions. If this is not clear, please contact the FRA Secretary in advance for clarification.
  • Race numbers must be displayed on both sides of the boat/number board (two sticky labels will be issued per boat). Yellow boards are welcome and no black tape is required.
