Fastest Split Competition
Posted by Concept2 News on the 22nd of July 2000
You may remember after a question from James Bailey a while back that we launched a competition to find the lowest split anyone could pull, and that we promised to bring a secret weapon into play. After several meetings in smoke-filled rooms, we've reluctantly decided that the secret weapon must remain veiled for matters of national security. And because we can't get hold of him yet. Anyway: the winner is (opens envelope, looks up) Chris Brett of Nottingham Boat Club and Loughborough University with a lowest split of 1:08 (sound of clapping, camera focuses in on Stuart Maze and Michiel Schaap who both did 1:10 and applaud while looking slightly sick). For the women, Anna Bailey did 1:26 with Karon Phillips a runner-up with 1:35. We'll be posting the times of everyone who entered on our web-site in the next couple of days.
