Stayed level - Bumped Clare, bumped by PembrokeWednesday

Till Ditton we said. It's a five minute race we said. Well we didn't account for a total fuck up of a start and losing 3/4 a length off the gun. Whoops. Still bumped though! Good opportunity to practice panicking.
I gotta say there is nothing quite like the feeling of bumps for making you want to absolutely wreck yourself.

Our plan was to bump by the book
Get Emma before Pembroke could look
But though we got near
And gave some good fear
They did bump us on poor Ditton's nook
We raced damn well. 8(?!) splits quicker going around First Post than yesterday having flown out of the blocks at rate 44.5. But despite getting three whistles on Emma, in the end Pembroke were the quicker crew and managed to catch us in the nick of time. Here's to a painful day tomorrow...

You're not having my HR data because I was ill enough that I hit a peak 10 strokes in and couldn't push it any higher because my body simply refused to go any harder.

I won't lie, I thought Clare might get us given the levels of disease down the boat. Turns out they still don't know how to do a bumps race. See you all next year.
