May Bumps Getting-on Race

Joint 3rd of 23 crews
Time: 9:04
Recipe for getting on to Bumps - no outings, no training, no early mornings, no weights, no matching kit, no cox box, one race.

On the row down we found a relaxed rhythm at 26. In the race of course we could not settle for relaxation, so went over at 29. Two crabs and a seat failure later, we are on to the bumps. Rah Rah First and Third! (Sarah)

May Bumps

Wednesday
Bumped Christ's II
Shaky start, but bumped before the motorway bridge. good show. (Dubya)
Thursday
Bumped Clare III
Awesome. (Smiley Mark)
Not quite Mark (thanks for the compliment) - a pretty poor row we thought. But hit them anyway. Hooray! (Dubya)
Friday
Bumped King's II
We thought Kings would be harder to hit than Clare. But in fact we hit Kings quicker -- by top station (also quicker than Pembroke had done the day before). It was a much better row as we coped well with the dirty water (mostly by avoiding the shitty lines of the crews ahead). It seems we have gained a lot of speed this week. (Dubya)
Saturday
Bumped St. Edmund's
Everyone a bit nervy, so a poor row but a well deserved bump at the entrance to First Post corner. That's a first boat, two second boats and a third boat down this week. Jolly good show. (Dubya)
