11th Nov '01 | Head of the River IVs | by mcp |
The IVs head is a huge processional head race involving 550 boats on the River Thames. It is our chance to challenge the likes of Pinsent and Cracknell in the same event...!
Both the 1st men's and 1st women's IVs went and raced it - the men getting within 3 mins of Pinsent's time ;-) There are some more details on our results page and a few pictures. | ||

Here's a useful article on http://www.theboatrace.org comparing Oxford (racing as Isis) and Cambridge (racing as Goldie) in the IVs Head - the first chance to compare the performance of the two squads.
Since three of the Isis crews were disqualified, it is difficult to compare Oxford and Cambridge on the official results alone, but the article includes two of the abandoned Isis times, which compare as below. Remembered that, all other things being equal, Quads ("x") go faster than coxless boats ("-"), which go faster than coxed boats ("+"): Finish Start Crew Placing in Category (2) 4 11 GOLDIE B C I 18:25.3 1 S2x 10s pen. 13 13 ISIS I 18:41.3 (1) 4- Disq. 20 16 GOLDIE B C II 18:55.1 1 4- 37 14 ISIS II 19:17.7 (2) 4+ Disq. 46 37 ISIS B C III 19:27.4 1 S1- 48 40 GOLDIE B C IV 19:30.5 2 S2- 49 51 ISIS B C IV 19:30.5 1 S1+ 54 27 GOLDIE B C III 19:33.7 3 4+ 60 115 ISIS B C V 19:37.4 1 S2+ 110 45 GOLDIE B C V 20:07.8 1 S3+A 218 455 GOLDIE B C VI 21:02.6 9 S3+A 364 ISIS VI -- unknown -- S1- Disq. |
