In canonical style our first stroke as a four was the first draw stroke. It was during this stroke that it became obvious that the rig was a bit high. Over the next five strokes it became obvious that this was an understatement.
After about a minute we'd just about adapted, and Steve led a solid rhythm over the rest of the course.
As in the eight, we were close but didn't win. The Cantabs crew that won was a selection from their first eight which dominated the Winter Head, so we shouldn't be disappointed to be so close behind them. By all accounts the CULRC alumni crew looked pretty rapid as well.
Thanks to Jesus for the boat and Sonya for coxing.
