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.
