BPBC 1st men's IV, Senior3 IV+

211th overall, 55th of 158 IV+, 7th of 47 in S3C
Time: 21:22.69
Saw a gun on the riverbank while marshalling...
As for the race, we concentrated on rhythm for the opening couple of minutes and were rewarded by settling into a great groove just before the Ye White Hart pub. This continued through to the end of the island from where we had to work on it a bit more, possibly because of starting to hit the wind, possibly because we were getting tired. We kep it chunky all the way though, including a Crabtree Reach which felt like it would never end, then took it up slightly past the boathouses to the end.
Can't believe I'm saying this, but the Boar's Head crew looked so young! Must be getting old... (Simon)

1st men's IV, Senior3 IV+

248th overall, 81st of 158 IV+, 27th of 56 in S3A, 1st of 8 college IV+
Time: 21:40.43
It looked pretty good shooting Hammersmith bridge. Fastest Cambridge college crew is a good result, although we will need to work hard through the second half of term if we are to get good results later in the year; Clare were only a second behind us in the Head, who were beaten by Downing by three seconds in Uni fours who were then beaten by Jesus by 15 seconds in the final.

1st women's IV, Senior3 IV+

439th overall, 44th of 111 WIV+, 17th of 44 in WS3A, 2nd of 14 college WIV+
Time: 23:39.24
Fantastic row! Despite missing the train to London, we got there on time and a really great start set us nicely into race rhythm to overtake Exeter (Oxford) and Emma very quickly; then holding off Imperial and an unidentified crew who were 'going for pennants' for a good time before they overtook. Unfortunately not too much chance for Jenners to practice swearing at crews for us to overtake because we were started a long way behind a group, but we made up good water on them by the end. Some confusion over distances led to us taking the rating up with about 800m to go, but probably this was a good thing...

Finished second college boat; a minute ahead of BP, only a minute behind CUW, very pleased and very tired! (Erica)
