After our W1 and M1 secured a place in Division 2 yesterday, both crews had a much deserved rest from today’s less than ideal weather conditions.
M2 was our only crew racing today with heavy snow falling from the sky. At the start, the strong wind blew the boat to the bank causing a few missed strokes but without panicking, they pushed away from the bank and rowed together. They were slowly gaining on Pembroke M3 until they caught a crab after the Motorway Bridge. This allowed Queens’ M4 to catch up on them to half a boat length. This did not phased our M2 crew as they fixed it back quickly and regained their momentum. Pushing away from Queens’ M4 immediately, they rowed pass the stationary Pembroke M3 just before the First Post Corner without realizing the bump has happened. Apparently Pembroke thought they hit something (an ice berg?) and decided to just stop rowing?! Many congratulations to M2 for recovering well on such unexpected conditions to earn your 2nd bump of the week! #WhosHallHughesHall
