Off the start, Wolfson took a bit of a lead, and it was clear that they had been practicing racing starts far more than we had. After about 10 strokes, Wolfson decided to steer into us, but Jonathan kept the girls calm and stayed on his side, and everyone kept it together well.

Once they were back on their side of the river, they continued to extend their lead, but the girls put in a good effort and held on to them, really making Wolfson work to maintain their lead.

Ultimately, it was a very nicely rowed race, but our lack of experience at rate showed through. Fortunately, this shows us what we need to focus on in the week before Fairbairns! (Katie)
