Day 1 M2 (race 1)

Bumped Wolfson II

After some promising results this term, we wanted to show that it had not all been to waste by getting some bumping done. The row to the start showed the same rustiness had that plagued our final outing on Monday morning, and spirits were not high at the start - we knew we were capable, but needed to remember how to row first!

Pembroke Regatta

Submitted by Simon Wright on Mon, 15/02/2010 - 15:07

M2 produced a couple of spirited rows against crews higher in the bumps charts at Pembroke regatta before falling just short of a place in the semi-finals against Robinson.

Again, due to badminton cuppers, various date mix-ups and an injury in M1, we were 3 rowers short of the crew that had been training at the start of the week - Jerry was in for Mark at 7, Krzysztof in for Ryan at bow and our mystery sub from Queens' replaced Lothar at 4. With such a scratch crew, expectations weren't that high, but we were still confident of producing some good performances.

Newnham Short Course

Submitted by Finn Grimwood on Mon, 01/02/2010 - 12:35

Catz M1 got their bumps campaign off to a bang on Saturday with a 1st place finish in Newnham Short Course.

It's a 1.6km head race from the little bridge to the railings. Although our crew looked good on paper, only having been in a boat together twice before the day of the race made us unsure as to how we would compare with other crews the Cam had to offer.

Winter Head to Head

Submitted by Ivan Scales on Sat, 23/01/2010 - 18:24

The start of Lent term has been a little frustrating, with a number of injuries in the men’s squad. So although our entry for the Winter Head to Head had us on paper as the college first eight, the reality was that this was the college second eight with the added muscle of Ruud and Finn – a scratch crew with the sum total of one outing on the water.

Fairbairn's IVs 2009

4th fastest college IV

A still winter afternoon greeted the annual Fairbairn's IVs races. The course begins at Jesus flagpole and finishes opposite the Plough, a distance of 3.2km.

After a disappointing 8th in Winter Head we were determined to attack the whole race. Winding to 35 on the start then settling to a solid race rate of 31 enabled the crew to put in a technical but powerful row, finishing 4th in a time of 11:34.42.

Winter Head - 21st November 2009

7th in Men's Student ARA Novice Division - 48th overall - 9:29

The first race of term was always going to be a tough ask, and with windy conditions forecast, we were expecting a very tough race. However, a stroke of luck meant that the wind turned to be a cross and slightly following wind, compared to the head wind most of the other divisions had to deal with. After a lot of faffing about with marshalling, and getting spun at the start, we were ready to go.
