Lent Bumps (Saturday) So it had been three days of pushing and hurting and being bumped, so when W1 turned up at the boathouse we all knew that today we had to perform! Today was our race, our row over!
We were starting head of the second division with LMBC II chasing us. We reckoned they were beatable despite them being on for blades. We rowed up to the start with conditions definitely better than yesterday. Two nice starts again and strong paddling up to our station.
Bumps: Result (1st row):
Rowed over
Bumps: Result (2nd row):
Rowed over Excellent row ends the week on a high for M2

Event:
Lent Bumps (Saturday) A slightly scrappy but strong start had us on station with Robinson M2, but gaining slightly on CCAT. More excellent lines from Esme and power from the bows had us gain a whistle on CCAT into plough reach. Behind us however, Robinson M2 were gaining and got a whistle too.
Annoyingly, as we were still gaining on them, CCAT bumped out. Esme avoided the carnage and calls from the bank to focus on our boat as we rowed through really helped and we began to hold Robinson at a constant distance of just over a length.
Bumps: Result (1st row):
Rowed over Gutsy row from Selwyn

Lent Bumps (Saturday) After a very unlucky week (without St Edmunds and ARU I'm sure we would have been able to show what we were properly capable of) we set off looking at a row-over.
Bumps: Result (1st row):
Rowed over Bump Bump Bumpity Bump

Event:
Lent Bumps (Saturday) What a race... Catz were nowhere... got our standard half length from our start getting us the whistle, and 2 lengths from Catz. Today, the difference was we just kept it going... Rate 40/41 saw us close on Christ's pretty rapidly, and kept Catz around the 2 length mark.
Into grassy, Iain and I could hear two whistles, then three, then cheering from the crowds... all we could hear was cheering, then our ears picked out the continuous whistles, and Christ's were caught just after grassy in a row that just felt amazing from start to finish (apart from the complete spack for about 2 strokes around grassy).
