1st round
Beat King's by a length
Beat King's by a length
Arriving at the start line, I promptly dekitted and was told by the start marshal that I would be disqualified if they had to see that again. Sorry, Catz.
We were started about half a length down, and rowed through the King's crew to win by about a length. Certainly better rowing than our paddle down.
2nd round
Beat Emma by a length
Beat Emma by a length
Sadly, while watching the other eight race beforehand, my leash fell off. Devastating. I was getting rather cold at this point, and somewhat regretting my choice of costume, so was glad when we eventually got rowing.
Both crews' excessive bow-pair tapping on at the start seemed to annoy the umpire for some reason, but we eventually started the race. With some prudent "DEEPER" and "HARDER" calls, we rowed through the Emma crew to win.
Quarter finals
Won easily

Caius and Churchill both had better things to do than sit around in fancy dress, it turns out, and so we won this round by default. In the process, we made friends with a lovely drunk man on the towpath who showed us his knife and taught us how to strengthen our forearms.
