M3 went into Wednesday confident that we would bump Caius M3 quickly having done our best rowing in our last two outings and nailed the practise start on the day. Sadly, this didn't happen.
We were on station 6, aka the outflow station, and the wind was strong which meant that we started at an angle to the bank and after about 10 strokes were parked in the opposite bank and an average to poor looking St Edmund's crew rowed past for the easiest bump anyone will ever achieve. However, those 10 strokes have made us confident that we can get them back tomorrow.
In short, not the first day that anyone was hoping for, but stuff like this happens in Bumps and hopefully Thursday will bring the bump that we know we should have got on Wednesday.
