Today was no real surprise for us. We knew that we would easily have the speed to hold-off a hard charging St Catz crew who were fighting to flee a quick Downing crew, our aim was to go out and try to nail Caius who in racing earlier in term, we had been pretty close in speed to. However, they we also on a serious mission to catch Jesus. They caught Jesus on grassy, leaving us with an empty river on which to row-over for the rest of the course as carnage created by Downing bumping St Catz on first post held the rest of the division from rowing through. Bring on tomorrow! Ed

 Caught sydney just after the plough, real solid row and very happy! Not much in it off the start but considerably better fitness and technically so once they started going we caught them quickly (apparently!)...

M3 came to this day not sure what to expect, being in the infamous Sandwich boat of course meant that we were likely to be doing two rows today, and this did happen.

Our first race we were being chased by Emma 3, after an alright start but not our best we began to put some distance between us and them and were clear and settling well when they were bumped out around the plough reach, we just moved on and covered the rest of the course with no pressure, the next crew out of sight and rowed over.

After losing our bow ball and some hasty repairs we got ready for the second race chasing Darwin 2.  Again our start wasn't the best and we didn't really do much round the corners, however we then went at Ditton and ate into them putting ourselves with overlap.  However the coxing from Darwin was good and they just managed to avoid us eventually rowing over.

Very promising tomorrow as we now know where we were and how much harder we can push, bring on tomorrow.
