Bumped Hughes Hall III
Bumped Hughes Hall III
We rowed in yellow and blue today, to the consternation of some of the spectators who voiced their sadness that we weren't in pink again.
Under the mistaken impression that there were cameras pointed at us, we rowed down comparatively prettily. It later turned out our bank parties had lied to us to get us to stop spannering.
We did a fairly beastly start and gained rapidly on Hughes Hall M3, intent on punishing them for overbumping around us the previous day. Approaching the motorway bridge we started rowing fairly terribly as we entered their wash, but all those pre-season pull-ups and deadlifts and bicep curls allowed bow 4 to muscle us rapidly into HH's stern as we went under the bridge.
Clearing the river was a bit awks, but otherwise it was a rather fun and rapid race.
