Got on - only 5th VIII in the Lent Bumps
A very tidy and committed row at an efficient 30+. Fingers crossed that we had the raw power to back it up - we'll find out later tonight!
Nice one guys! This certainly felt like the best row I've ever been a part of (barring a scary line round grassy corner, but let's not mention that again). Seems we beat Christ's IV by at least 10 places- and quite right too considering we were faster than their entire VIII when rowing in sixes.
So it looks like blades for M5 this year! No, really...

Well rowed guys! :-D :-D :-D
Martin tells me you are the first FaT 5th VIII in the Lents for five years. Nice one.

Here's the data! The men's races were reduced from 5 divisions to 4 in 1998, we've had 5 VIIIs only twice since then.
And (courtesy of the book, cheers Martin) you have to go back to 1984 to find a 5th Lent VIII before the 1995 one on the website.
Getting on Race felt like the best piece of rowing I ever had. I agree with Charlie - we should go for the blades!
