Another rather cold day's racing on the Isis. Here's what happened:
M2 - registered their first bump (and the first of many novices' Oxford careers) on St Benet's first boat. Unfortunately, they were also overtaken by a rapid Lincoln second boat. A perturbing result given that M1 were chasing Lincoln's first boat.
W1 - with the day's e-mail entitled 'The day Univ die', there was never going to be any messing about with the women's crew. A pity the women didn't get to practise their stride though... Bump!
M1 - a damn close-run thing. Coming up to the gut, the race was shaping up to be a carbon copy of yesterday's. With a canvas between us and Lincoln M1, however, we caught a monstrous crab, wiping out at least 10 strokes of rowing. I think most of us believed it was all over with our race, but we hit a beautiful rythmn coming through the Gut and sweated a bit of blood to hunt Lincoln down once more, finally taking them with an almighty push coming onto the Green Bank.
