Torpids Day Three Report

The sun came out for most of Day 3, making the racing seem distinctly eights-like. Another good day for KCBC on the river as well...

M2 - the second boat were unfortunately bumped twice off the start, but stayed in the hunt and were rewarded with a thrillingly violent bump on Oriel's 2nd VIII entering the finishing straight. Although the first time this week a Keble crew has moved down a place, the boys rowed their best and bravest race of the week.

W1 - those watching the webcam coverage of the racing will already know the result, with our women bumping Worcester right in front of the camera. Nice work.

M1 - this was always going to be the toughest day of the week. We were chasing Wolfson, a very strong crew and blades-winners at Summer Eights last year. Unfortunately, despite rowing our best race of the week, we couldn't quite hunt them down. Damn. Still, tomorrow's another day....
It was heartening to see, however, the disappointment our boys showed. Last year to row over against Wolfson and Lincoln would have been regarded as a good result. This year our standards are that much higher.
