So day two was not meant to be.
A stomach bug meant that the cox couldn’t even get in the boat to push off at the boat house. Luckily the lovey Natasha was able to jump into the boat and save the day and did a valiant effort.
Unfortunately Newnham were faster than us today. We had a clean start and footage from the GoPro on the Bow of the Newnham boat showed a very stable gutsy row. Unfortunately they were faster than us and a bump was inevitable, but we held them off well and we should be proud for the distance achieved.
Tomorrow holds a new battle. We have Murray Edwards behind who have rowed over in front of Pembroke for two days. They’re going to be hungry to bump, but we will of course give it our all. Let’s see what day three holds!
Bring it on!
