A good race, and an excellent result!
The paddle down to the lock was some of the quickest we've ever done, indicating the presence of a large stream. This was further reinforced by the time to beat of 7:06, set by LMBC, at a split of 1:48.3.
With a good rhythm off the start line, we settled onto a split of ~1:47 into first post corner. Excellent pushes were made round both first post and grassy, however the speed dropped off slightly down plough reach.
Coming out onto the reach, a good press was made round Ditton, and the boat speed started to increase after the railings. A good push from the White House built on this further, and resulted in a time of 7:04, winning by two seconds. Having lost to Pembroke by ~20s the previous week over 2x2k, to beat them by 6s was a great reflection of the progress made! Very excited to see where the term goes, more speed to come!
A fantastic race. We were all back in the boat after a week without a single full crew outing due to illness.
Despite the extremely strong stream on the day we settled into a very nice cruising rythrm and held strong for the first half of the course. We didn't quite have the same intensity on the Reach but brought it back with a wind at the end - even if I was holding on for dear life at that point.
Very satisfying to run into Orson and the rest of LMBC in the Fort afterwards when the results came out.
