Fastest time ever recorded for a FaT crew that didn't get on. Only beaten by 2nd and 3rd VIIIs; beat a 2nd VIII and four 4th VIIIs.
It was an awesome row, very disappointing not to get on. They deserved better!

Got on - whooo!

I didn't arrive in time for the start, but from Ditton onwards this looked like a great row; really powerful, tidy and together. They looked considerably better and faster than any of the other crews I saw whilst cycling up to meet them, which bodes well for both getting-on and for next week!
Thanks to the crew for putting up with my spacky bow-side-and-wearing-jeans row back to the boathouse, it was very entertaining for me, perhaps not so much for them! :)

Yippee!!! We did it :-)
This was a really strong and powerful row and we went fast! I'm definitely looking forward to doing bumps next week in this crew :)

This felt like a very solid row, with the added incentive of lousy weather looming, a 3pm time constraint and Amelia, who appeared out of nowhere! Many thanks to a great bow sub Aileen, and surprise sub-sub Amelia. Provided I'm not speaking to soon, next week should be fun...!
:) we rowed so beautifully, and i think we felt really strong as a crew. a special thank you to our subs and to amelia for turning up to bank party just when i thought i wouldnt be able to row any more! can't wait to row the bumps with you all...

My first ever race as a cox'n.
We started out quite nicely up first post reach and around first post corner, but a seat failure in the gut saw us crawl into grassy. With everyone back on their seats again, we were round grassy with not too much problem, although I was slightly wide on the exit (I'll blame bowside for this ;-) ). The plough reach was quite reasonable, rowing wise, but it was starting to go very soggy around Ditton corner. Once round the corner, a series of crabs from various members of the crew cost us time and rythym. One of these crabs saw the bowside blades get dangerously near to the bank, but a few good firm strokes from bowside and quick crab recovery saw us clear of the bank again. With a women's 2nd crew looming behind us, it was time to push hard for the finish. This resulted in several good bursts of speed, but also some frantic, out of time rowing.
Anyway, we crossed the line and didn't get on, but everyone seemed to have had some fun rowing this term.
