Well, there obviously should've been a stewards' enquiry, and we should've qualified for the final! Unfortunately our erg was only set up for a single 500m race, so after a 30-45s delay (and a second standing start) we set off with the other 7 rowers, but still beat Girton to the finish. The women really put in a gutsy row, but had their concentration disrupted slightly by the technical problems. So it was slightly frustrating to finish only one place outside the qualifiers for the final, but a determined performance nevertheless! (BJ)
