St Catharine's College Boat Club

After a calm row up, the crew felt strong and well-prepared for the first day. Once we were on station, nerves started to set in and  this showed during our start sequence. As we got into our rhythm, it was clear that Trinity Hall were gaining ground quite quickly and we held them at half a length around first post corner. Despite this, Harriet called for a power 10 and we managed to push them back to one lengh past The Plough. Unfortunately after Ditton Corner, a strong head wind gave Trinity Hall the momentum to catch us and the bump came quickly at the top of the reach. However, we are positive that now we have got first day nerves out of the way, we will come back even stronger tomorrow and show Trinity Hall that we don't give up easily!
