1st women's IV
University IVs (1st division)
1st round
lost by 3s to Girton
lost by 3s to Girton
This was a close race with us moving nicely at the start. A powerful start gave us some distance on Girton but unfortunately an extremely poor corner (resulting from very unevenly matched sides), and our bow seat injuring her wrist resulted in the opposition edging back and eventually taking the win. Overall not a bad race for a scratch crew with little training together!
Cambridge Winter Head (Senior IVs)
3rd in College IVs
Time: 10:58
Time: 10:58
Most definitely a race to be proud of! We hit it hard off the start with rate reaching the high 30s / low 40s, and settled only a punchy 34. The commitment in the boat was great with each and every one of us giving our all. We all reacted well to calls and had a great line though all of our corners. Sadly Christ's moving slower off the start ahead of us made for a race in their wash for a large proportion of the course which was anything other than ideal. Coming through the railway bridge we had a massive push bringing the rate up by a pip to come across the line in an extremely close 3rd. BRING ON FAIRBAIRNS!!!
