The Club's Results

Newnham Short Course, Lent Term 2013

4th men's VIII (Lower VIIIs)

11th lower VIII; fastest M4
Time: 8:24
We had a plan to chain at 28, a reasonable plan for an M4. Turns out we don't like 28, we much prefer short slide 32 instead. A really committed race in parts, as the result shows (11th M3/M4/M5). Well steered by Catarina for her first time taking the Bumps Line at rate - not even close to crashing! With a bit of technical work we'll be able to move the boat far more efficiently, and hopefully retake our permanent position in Lents. (Thornton)
