A team of 6 men and 3 women from the University of Hertfordshire Rowing Club decided to try and beat the BUSA mixed record for the 100K row. The attempt took place at the London Colney Sainsburys on Sunday 15th March 2009, and the team consisting of Chris Wheeler, Simon Weston, Oliver Williams, Ben Fussell, Matthew Bromley, Martin Burrows, Harriet Parsons, Susanna Trow and Katie Farmer finished the 100,000m in 4 hours 52 minutes and 14 seconds beating the previous record held by CrewBath by exactly 7 minutes.

The event raised £1,550.77 which will be split equally between Comic Relief and UHRC. Anybody wishing to sponsor both organisations further should visit http://www.uhrowing.co.uk.
