There was a crab in this race. An unfortunate event, but they're doomed to occur now and then. In this case, I really wish that it had happened earlier on (rather than a bit after the white bridge), as while - before the crab - they had seemed to row decently, putting in a creditable performance for an NW1, the crab changed quite a lot. They rowed well, rated higher, rowed in a more relaxed fashion, and made Zara, Polly, and I really quite pleased and proud. Had they crabbed just before the start, and rowed like the second half the whole way through, then that would have been an excellent performance.

It was good to see potential partially fulfilled, especially after injuries and illness had rather frustrating effect on sessions. They should be happy with what they've shown that they can do, even if it wasn't quite what it could have been. (Thomas Frith)
