May Bumps 2013, M1 Day 1

Bumped First and Third M1

A strong peformance on our first day, finishing with a bump on FaT M1 beside the railings.

After a pretty dodgy start and first few corners we settled down into a strong rhythm that eventually ate up the metres between us and FaT without too much drama. Coming onto the blustery reach we lost less speed than both Pembroke (behind us) and FaT, and took the final length off of FaT very quickly.

Rumour has it that LMBC (in front tomorrow) blew up on the reach after chasing Jesus hard so we are looking forward to trying to row a similar race, relying on our faster cruising pace, although also hoping to have a more clinical start.
