The London Otters entered 3 crews (2 senior, 1 social/novice mix) in the pinnacle race of the winter head season (with over 300 competing crews this year).

While no places were earned, all three boats - despite a lack of training due to weather leading up to the event - set decent times and showed excellent skill on the water.

The first race for some Novice rowers, everyone walked away buzzing with a great sense of accomplishment that was well deserved.

Massive thanks to the Head of the River organisers, and also to Putney Town Rowing Club for hosting us. We look forward to next year.
