We knew today would be a tough race.

Our morning outing was nervy, but the starts were strong.

In our race, we had a strong start, getting us an extra half-length of clear water, but then Robinson's faster base-speed showed, and they reeled us in methodically, foot-by-foot. We had a strong push into Ditton to get us the clear water we needed to get the good line, but so did they, and our stern just clipped their bow. We didn't feel it in the boat, but the umpire had seen it, and eventually communicated it to our cox as we came onto the reach.

It was a frustrating end to the race, but we'd rowed well, and given our best.. tomorrow we get another chance at Christs, and we're going to enjoy it...
