Bumped just before first post corner. Clinical.

Took a bit longer today as Catz went off hard to try and run away, but they died and we caught them on grassy. Tom's steering is just excellent.

Mounted Corpus a bit in the first attempt to get round the course today and then found ourselves back on head station listening to the minute cannon go and the umpire saying, "you're going to top finish, if you make it that far." Very glad we had a chance to prove him wrong.

Decent start sequence with our first proper stride of the week, settling on to a long 34, and roughly held Queens a bit inside station around first post, through the gut and into grassy. They moved up a bit along plough reach and got their first whistle on the exit of ditton.

Our first half of the reach wasn't particularly solid but as they kept moving and got 2 whistles, we took it up two with a really solid push.

Queens just kept coming, and coming, and coming and everything between halfway down the reach and the P&E is pretty blurry but I remember a lot of overlap and a heck of a lot of response to pushes from the boys. We broke them and walked away around Morley's Holt. My heart has never beaten so fast sitting still.

Couldn't be more proud of the work today. Incredibly gutsy, digging deep and not letting them get into our heads. Here's to tomorrow.

Could have been cleaner, but today was a fairly classic bump on a spoonbarge. Tomorrow won't be as easy.
