It was somewhere between a third of a length to half a length down. Not a bad race, considering we were basically a scratch crew and the other boat had some massive people in it!

With pride and points at stake the other crew drew out to an early lead, but a sustained push through the middle of the race closed the gap to inches, despite the effective distraction strategies employed by the rival cox.
However confusion over the location of the finish led to a lacklustre last 150, when calls to increase the rate and to row through them led to a fall in rate and speed allowing the opposition the victory.
