1st men's VIII, Intermediate 2 VIIIs

14th, 4th in IM2
Time: 15:58.2
After our stroke man caught the notorious 'broken rib' bug a week ago we have been forced to shake up our crew - we are now bow-rigged and every member has changed seats. However, the crew has responded well and we are beginning to learn to row a head race.
The race felt nice and committed but the rowing was too variable if we want to perform next weekend at HoRR. Rate fluctuated between 30 and 33 and we seemed surprised by the tailwind. We overtook one crew and were overtaken by a sharp KRC crew who eventually won IM2.
One week to go - as a new line up our rate of improvement is pleasingly quick. Morale is high and we're looking forward to getting our teeth into the Tideway. (Rich)

2nd men's VIII, Intermediate 3 VIIIs

66th
Time: 17:38.1
A disappointing row, being thrashed by Pembroke M2 among others. We were overtaken 3 times.
We showed rare glimpses of what we might be able to do, but within a few minutes resorted to a 15 degree lean to bowside, and rather than fixing this by sitting up and rocking to riggers, we called for POWER, which did very little.

I still believe this crew could do well, but not when the default setting is 'row like we normally do', despite our coaches efforts, and then make excuses about crew changes causing all the problems. (Thomas)
