A birthday bump for me, first bumps experience couldn't have been better. With the whole crew singing happy birthday to me as we put on our greenery. From the cannon to the whistles there seemed to be no gap! Absolutely exhilarating, we really came together as a crew.

First race on the Tideway for four of us, an exciting and wonderful experience. The race had a couple mishaps, with us hitting a buoy or two and then Frans gate breaking less than 2k down the course. She recovered the blade having at one point been balancing it in the air, and continued to row on regardless for the rest of the race. FaT W1 overtook three crews including kings W1 in the final 1000m of the race.

FaT made a stronger start than Wolfson and were a length ahead at the 150m mark however some synchronised crabs led to them losing by a length in the end. One crab lasted 13 strokes...

After the Emma Sprints disaster, with FaT NM1 losing to Wolfson NM1 by a length having been a length up originally. FaT were keen to get revenge on the water. Wolfsons scare tactics of having their whole crew shout their start sequence wasn't enough to deter FaTs stronger start. after 200m we were a length up. At the 500m mark Wolfson made a move and gained back a quarter of a length, then a crab at our 2 seat put them only half a length down. But a massive FaT push at the railway bridge left Wolfson to bite the dust as we walked away from them. FaT ended up finishing over a length ahead of the opposition with Matt Walker (7 seat) shouting "REVENGE!" as we crossed the finish line.

Strong start from FaT, about a length up at the 300m mark. Crab at the 4 seat gained them some ground. But a strong finish from FaT landed us a comfortable win. (looked like much more than half a length in the video of the race...)

A clean start with nothing in it between the two crews for the first 150m, then at the 200m mark Catz started to move a little head. One or two mini crabs and some scrappy strokes gave Catz a good lead. At the railway bridge FaT were a length down, but a big push got us back into overlap and we ended up finishing just half a length down. Really strong effort from the boys, the most tidy race of the day.
