For a first race this was a different experience, not only with us being entirely confused about when the race actually started but how to pass traffic etc. We therefore hit it hard from as soon as we realised we had actually started racing and never really stopped. The traffic in grassy was well met by a novel line from Dilini, and until the last 300m everything seemed to be running smoothly. At this point we tried to bring her home too hard, resulting in a caught crab and untidy catches. Overall though an exciting first race.

Having kept pace with Corpus III whilst paddling down (with pauses at arms away) we weren't too concerned about being bumped.

Unfortunately, although we gained on the Corpus II crew ahead to show we were the fastest crew in the division, the robinson snails let Corpus off the hook.

A short paddle later we were sitting by the P & E, and had just given our drinks order to Richard when we were warned that a crew could still potentially bump us.. Given we had no binoculars with us to check that far back up the river we took the marshalls advice literally and gave the surrounding female crews a comedy ending.
