Today, none of our speakers worked during the race, they worked again after the race. At the start, we got one empty stroke and one crab, but managed to get closer up to Wolfson than yesterday. We were bumped by Queens at Grassy before we turned the corner. My tight cutting of the corner gave no space to Queens, who were poking their bowball to my left.
Our rowers worked hard today. Tomorrow, we should aim for less panic at the start with just the right amount of pressure. We had awesome practice starts today, and we should translate them into more confidence and control over the boat during the actual race. All of us value the chance to race in Bumps after all the hard work we have put in this term!
