2nd of 3 in the final
Final
2nd of 3
Time: 8:25.07
This crew were by far the lightest and smallest crew in the event and would have entered lightweights had there been the opportunity. Naturally, a strong cross-wind was not in their favour! Nevertheless, they rowed admirably, coming in second place and achieving the best 500m split of the entire event in the third quarter (1:51).

All in all, it was an extremely profitable day, with all crews gaining some valuable race experience in appauling conditions. Poplar seems to have whetted everyone's appetite and encouraged us to raise our game. (Alex)
