This was generally a good row, but we're still keeping ourselves back with our technique. The biggest improvement today was getting back on it after a few bad strokes, which had previously been missing. The next two weeks are going to be tough, but the dream is now within reach. Thank you to our subs today.
On the downside, we were beaten by LMBC, Downing and Granta, which is definitely sub-optimal, though we did beat Magdalen, who are head in Oxford, and a couple of other crews. The catches still aren't quite there, as the picture below shows, but much more fun than HOTN, and looking forward to Pembroke.
