Newnham shortcourse was W1’s first race of Lent term and what a race it proved to be. We arrived at the boat house pumped and eager to get back into the racing scene. With a solid row up to the start line we quickly fell into our race pace leaving a men’s crew trailling in our wake. Keeping it together we had a final burst down the reach to finish with a fantastic time of 9.03. Now we have our eyes on bumps with high hopes for a good result!
