Sunday presented much better weather. Still a little bumpy, but not nearly as gusty. Cool weather meant rowers pushed off in long sleeve shirts and tights. Early in the morning were the heats, but most of the RTC athletes only had finals in the afternoon. Racing started with the Thijs and Maartin who race in the M2x (Men's Double Scull). They placed second to the German Olympic LM2x. Janneke and her partner Lisa raced in a combined event format of lightweight doubles and openweights and won.
Last events of the day were the quads. The RTC has two competitive quads hoping to earn a spot to compete in the U23 World Championships that will be held in Trakai, Lithuania. Connu, Bart, Tim and Ide were a close second to the Germans. Elmer, Bastiaan, Roel and Daan chased hard, but never found their rhythm to finish in 6th.
That wraps up brandenburg. Crews de rigged and wrapped boats up ready to fly back or drive back. Thank you for the KNRB who provided and tent, resting place and food for the athletes during the racing weekend.
