Head of the Charles Regatta

And, you know, I was part of the women's team that was inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame just, you know, a year or two ago, a couple years ago.

And so things like, you know, finishing, uh, fourth at the Head of the Charles-

Mm-hmm

... and winning the Dad Vales and the just, you know, the ath- the, the effort and the athleticism and the camaraderie that comes with that.

Yeah.

We started the season with Head of the Charles and obviously Nat Schools and Henley Royal.

They're all big wins.

Um, I think the six of us last year, I remember on camp when Pete said that he's gonna pass out in a double and a quad, and he wants us to win them both at Henley Women's.

[laughs]

Yeah.

And are you, are you heading back out to the Head of the Charles this year?

No, unfortunately not.

There you go.

And people are going to have the, or I think they are, people are going to have the opportunity to see Scout at the head of the Charles Regatta coming up, right?

Absolutely.

So this is part of our spirit as a company.

Looking forward to seeing all of you at the King of the Darls.

Head of the Charles.

And the date on that, again, is the head of the Charles Regatta is in two weeks, right?

That's right.

I mean, we said this the other week off the Scullers' head, but...

Today, there's Pairs Head Reviews coming out, Previews coming out on Joran, there's OCU Head of the Oklahoma stuff in the US, Head of the Charles we're flying out to in a couple of weeks, Pairs Head Forwards Head, President's Challenge, it's all coming together.

So, an exciting time, and I think, like you said earlier, a good season more broadly on the cards across the UK.

Yeah.

And every member of the Cambridge squad contributes towards our results that day, our culture.

And I want everyone to be a part of that.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're both heading out to head of the Charles this year, both squads, and Oxford are heading out to head of the Charles as well.

It's quite a new tradition, but is that quite exciting to get that run down our course against Oxford so early in the season for both of you? Yeah,

Some of, like, the best, um...

Okay, one of the things around Boston that's really popular that's coming up in the fall is called Head of the Charles, and it's a rowing competition, race.

Oh, okay.

Whatever.

That's amazing.

So tell our listeners how they can learn more about the head of the Charles Regatta.

Our website that is always kept up to date, which is HOCR.org.

So anything you want to find out about, even just like the basics of the event and athletes and how to qualify or how to buy hospitality, you can find on there.

Is there an event or something in the rowing world that each of the three of you is most looking forward to? Camilla, we've mentioned your big trip to China.

We've got Head of the Charles coming up.

But from the domestic side of things, from the international side of things, what are you all looking forward to? Camilla, let's start with you, first of all.

Um, not often I look to indoor rowing as something that I'm looking forward to, but, uh, I'm going to take a piece from this time last year where we made season predictions and indoor rowing was, was my big absolute ticket winner, wasn't it? So, um, I'm going to, I'm going to jump on that again and say that obviously Great Britain, the UK, is hosting the World Indoor Championships this year on my birthday.

I don't know if this is going to irritate Tom.

It's probably his answer as well.

But I'm most looking forward to Head of the Charles and going back to Boston.

The last two years have had such a good time.

According to the documents submitted to USC, she's a cox for the MAC Rowing Program in Los Angeles.

The application claims she competed in the prestigious Head of the Charles Regatta in Boston and helped her crew win gold at the San Diego Crew Classic.

None of this is true because Bella has never rowed competitively in her life.

But the paperwork alone is not enough.
