Umm. difficult to say, all very painful and messy. we lost by.. dunno, few lengths maybe?
some pre-race difficulties probably didn't help: we arrived atbh to find that lilie was being erica for the day and so we were 3 stroke siders and one bow sider.. i thought it couldn't be that hard (!) but turns out on the row down i can't actually do anything coordinated with my left hand (so feathering was out) and for that matter couldn't get my blade in or out of the water..
and to be perfectly honest i'm far too fat to be sat in the bows.
so upon late arrival at the plough we had a bit of a hasty reshuffle: from pia (4), cath(3), lilie(2) and me... to lilie(4), cath(3), me(2) and pia.
interesting. so we took it off rating about 1 million, strode to a reasonabe amount but lost a bit on tit hall... caught them up again half way up the reach but then were all a bit knackered and they got away again.
could have been a lot worse i guess. better luck to the 2nd women!

I can think of a positive point: after about 10 minutes it ended :)

Despite having no form on Tit Hall, this race was characterised by our trademark arrogance. as yesterday, we were unflustered by the side-by-side aspect, and we flaunted our power and height advantage by taking a smooth, swift start and settling into a confident and controlled piece. I'm sure we will keep this up as the week goes on, and even take it up a notch with our favourite killer pushes still to come...
