W1 Lent Bumps 2014 – Day 4

After being denied the overbump on Maggie, W1 were fired up for the last day of racing. Hungry for a bump, it was do or die! It was a great row up to our station with a blistering practice start outside the plough, we were just desperate to get on with the race. Gun goes off and we immediately leave Robinson behind. Without the pressure of being bumped we bore down on Emma II quickly getting to inside a length of bumping but they put up a fight and pulled away going into grassy corner. However, once we got onto the reach Emma were finished. All week we had proved that the reach is where we row best. With an incredible power 10 after Ditton we got back to a length. Again with some mighty pair pushes we went from one length to overlap in less than 20 strokes! Two strokes into a \bump in 10\” call we finally caught them! After a bit of an unlucky week we finally we got to row home with greenery in our hair and smiles on our faces!

A huge thank-you to Tim and Pete for bank partying us all week! And well done to W1 for what has been an incredible set of bumps
