{italic}Rowed over{enditalic}
After a tidy row down to the start, nerves in the boat were running high. We knew that Caius II were likely to bump out in front of us unless we could catch them quickly, and they obviously knew that too, since they put everything into the first stretch of the race and then were about to die on the point of catching Girton II. We were half a length off them when they bumped out, so had to stop, wait, and wind up to race pace again for the row over.
Although we would have preferred a bump, we did quite well, the row over felt fairly nice and obviously the support from Sidneyites scattered along the bank helped massively. W1 can be expected to do well over the next few days, and any support is appreciated.
