We had 6 minutes of good rowing in us. We rowed well for those 6 minutes. It was claimed by some foolish 5-seat that we could get top 5 if we rowed down the course and didn’t mess up. Oops.
Not the end to the term that we had hoped for, but not an absolute shocker. Losing to Corpus despite them crashing was painful, and losing to Catz by the same margin that we beat them in senior QErgs was also a pain (0.4 seconds).
We held 33, as was the plan, the whole way. There was a slight rise towards the finish.
The finish marshalling was actually OK, and I wasn’t absolutely frozen and out of it like last year, though I fear that that says more about my ability to completely empty the tank from first post than warmth?
It was nice to see M2 and NM1’s finishes.
