Stayed level - Bumped Downing II, bumped by Jesus IIWednesday
Bumped by Jesus II
Bumped by Jesus II
We really came together this term to be the best boat I have rowed in by a country mile. We had one of our fastest starts but Pembroke had an amazing start getting 2.5 lengths ahead of us as we pursued them past Newnham bridge. Jesus gaining all the time, us countering push with push. We got one whistle on Pem, then two - they had died. But after a valient effort by the crew Jesus II was our downfall for the 5th time since I have joined M2. We were inside half a length on Pembroke just after first post corner. We raced the best we could and rowed home with our heads held high as we were bested by a much faster crew.
Go chase the martlet
Push off the black/red cockerel
Oh, the cockerel crows
Friday
Rowed over
Rowed over
O'erhead crab for stroke.
Quick! recover! Push back Catz!
We'll bump tomorrow?
Despite our strokeman crabbing off the start and Catz immediately getting two whistles on us we recovered well and started pulling away again. Little did we know they were also rowing for their lives as Sidney I ploughed into their backs down first post reach. We rowed over after this, it was not great rowing but not bad considering we had our rhythem thrown off at the start.
Saturday
Bumped Downing II
Bumped Downing II
Sidney: foe of old.
Clipped the bank but kept it strong.
Claimed our bump at last.
Another day, another mishap. Today we decided to make friends with first post corner. This was relatively quickly recovered and allowed us to get overlap on Downing II by Grassy. We were not so good at executing the bump doing a tier 3 bumps push down the whole of Plough reach until they finally conceded at ditton with our two seat level with their cox.
Excellent row, excellent week, Le bosh
