Ingram/Lea-Cox, Men's Novice 2x
Won as only entrant!
Time: 22:07
Time: 22:07
9:50 down; 12:17 up
The river was in quite high flood ensuring a strong stream. After hours backing it down to maintain place marshalling we set off at a fairly rushed pace. I was having a bit of a mare steering in the downstream conditions and we did a scenic tour of both banks prior to the Reach. It was also quite bumpy here which seemd to badly affect our less than perfect stability! The rate stayed a little high and we were perhaps not quite getting enough out of our legs but a reasonable push out of Ditton picked it up. First Post Reach was OK and we finished strongly.
In the break we realised we needed to work with the legs a little more in the second leg and set off at a slightly less frantic but probably faster speed upstream. I had a slightly better time of it with the steering and a nice push in the choopy water by the P&E saw us pip past a birds pair on the finish. We felt the 2nd leg had been better and this was confirmed in the results as our time gap was smaller than all similarly paced crews.
Alas, we didn't quite achieve our No. 1 objective being slower than the FaT women by 11s and 3s on the 2 legs but I feel it was a solid result and we beat 4 men's viiis and 8 women's viiis.

Not much to add that Chris hasn't already said except that it was great fun, despite the pre-race formal hall! Double sculls rule!!

2nd women's VIII, Lower VIIIs
2nd of 2 in Lents Lower Division
Time: 23:55
Time: 23:55
Pretty good row there, good response to pushes. Held off a Cantabs M4+ for a good while, but eventually forced to give them the inside of First Post Corner and as they were a little wide of the bank, had to easy very briefly where that tree thing sticks just after. Good strong finish.
Second leg was absolutely solid, the girls gave it everything. Good result I feel, no other boats in our division raced, but we were a mere 6 seconds behind Homerton I and 5 behind Wolfson I, despite the incident.
