Day three
New day, new opportunities. After bumping LMBC yesterday (and feeling
PRETTY good about that!), we were ready for day three, with Clare once
again ahead of us. With two original crew members out, we were lucky enough
to get two amazing subs (thanks Emily and Rachael!), and the plan was to
have a solid row, knowing that LMBC were eager to take back our well-earned
bump! Despite the heavy winds and strong current we set off to a good
start, getting into our stride early and keeping LMBC at bay. They gained
up on us at Grassy corner, but we used our mean, lean, rowing machine thighs
and pushed away with ease. Hitting the Reach was like hitting a brick wall
with the heavy winds, nonetheless we got it back together quickly and had a
strong finish, LMBC were nowhere near! Ahead of us Clare had bumped Queens,
who are set for spoons if (when) we get them on the final day. For the
wheel!
