3rd men's VIII, Men's Other Mays

3rd in Men's Other mays
Time: 10:13
Looking good as we marshalled, the crew did its best pulling before the race had even begun - shacked up next to LMBC women (well they're all women at LMBC but these were the type with boobs). And so with a formal on the cards it gave the guys something to aim for and the crew started off well.
Unfortunately - whether due to lack of fitness or general laziness the pressure then went a bit FaT bellyed, i.e. saggy round the midpoint.
A fantabulous 'Serge' from the railway bridge saw us come up fast behind Peterhouse. Peterhouse seemed to react to this as if they had had people coming up behind them hundreds of times before and managed to 'hold us' to the finish.
A good solid race but we could have pulled as well in the race as we did when marshalling for a better time. (Dan Newton)

Women's 1st VIII, Women's Other Mays

1st of 15 crews in Women's Other Mays
Time: 10:46
A fantastic start to the term and not a bad race either! A bit frantic at the start, but pushing through the corners saw us gain on Disney and pull away from Caius B. A well timed ratio shift on the Reach refocused our power and the push for the finish was solid and together. Pennants!!! (Sarah)

2nd women's VIII, Women's Other Mays

11th of 15 crews in Women's Other Mays
Time: 12:02
Not a great result, but not too bad for a stratch crew, considering we crabbed and had to easy on the reach, before starting up again. Solid start, gained a lot on fitz, pulled away from churchill, went a little limp after the railway bridge perhaps. We can and will do better! (Me Me Me Me Me.)
