| Two women's crews, the 2nd and 3rd VIIIs both competed in the Getting-on-Race this afternoon, racing other college lower boats to try and win places in the Lent Bumps next week.
The 2nd VIII, who have been performing to a high level recently, had a very controlled row, despite a slight incident approximately 15 strokes from the end. Their race was well together and powerful, and showed good potential for the remainder of this term, and next. The 3rd VIII, who until last night didn't exist, and only today had their first outing (the race), had a brilliant row, including a nice little scrap with a Christs men's VIII about 100m from the finish line. RTT, complete with CULRC lycra, showed surprising competency in his coxing, and steered a good line around the corners, helping his crew to register a very respectable time. Well done to all those who raced today, especially the 3rd VIII, many of whom were dragged in at short notice! | ||

arr said: RTT, complete with CULRC lycra, showed surprising competency in his coxing, and steered a good line around the corners I wasn't wearing any lycra - just my leggings (which are far too warm to row in and much more suitable for coxing as they are sufficiently tight to allow my arse to fit in Titan). Thanks for the corners compliment. And thanks for not mentioning the straights(!) | ||
