A slightly disappointing row where we failed to find the speed we had found the weekend before. We started reasonably cleanly, but settled onto a rushed and not particularly effective rhythm. We were a second or two down coming past the Plough, however our attempts to raise boat-speed resulted in more rush and less speed, resulting in Catz gaining significantly on the reach. We should be going plenty faster by Lents. (Matthew)

This was a good race in a scratch four. Had a nice rhythm down First Post, lost it a bit coming down Plough Reach, and then dug deep coming down the reach to move strongly up on the other four, and keep the Kings' College London four behind on station. Nice send and timing meant that technique was good coming into the eight later in the day (although the only photo we have of this race would suggest otherwise...).

Marshalling down at the lock is always fun as well - this time we were rewarded by a display of performance anxiety from our esteemed captain (see photos).
