Cox: Dunno, open to offers...

Pah, although undoubtedly that boat would be pretty good, I think a mixed VIII would be more fun. Even if you have to put me at 3.

Where are we planning on getting the boat from, anyway?

Hmm, I may have expressed an interest to row for Addies, and this might've been taken seriously.

Apparently, they were kicked off the river last year for being far too dangerous and will therefore start bottom of the M6 division for Mays. They won't have to go through a getting on race though, as they're technically an M1.

the same reason you put them on an eight (though there's a bigger reason for doing so in a 4, obv)

was my first water outing just now too (though in the past 4 days i've rowed 42k, done two weights sessions and a run). am subbing into the mays boat until we get the uni rowers. very scrappy.

Which is?

I think we passed a Caius VIII. Was that you?

very scrappy.

aren't you an engineer???

adding the clam gives you more turning moment about the gate, so that it's easier to apply force in the water. downfalls: you get a shorter stroke, plus the handle is shifted slightly out of the boat.

if you passed the yellow boat, yes. if the black one, no.

You didn't look too shabby when I saw you, a bit splashy maybe, but that's fair enough given the strength of the wind on the reach this afternoon.

We've had 4 outings in four days, its knackering. But we have been shamed into taking action after our horrendous bumps performance.

Our M1 our currently 2 hours through a 24hour erg, trying to go the 400km between Girton and Paris (that means an average split of 1:48 to do it in the 24hours), they are crazy.

Cambridge lost to Oxford by 20seconds in WeHoRR, but that's nothing over 4miles, should be a close race on the 22nd.
Downing were the fastest college, 0.7secs ahead of FaT.

tomorrow looks to be the start of a busy week:

wed: 6x6.5k erg]

why is that ever going to be useful or a good idea... ?

mon: 70min erg
tue: outing in 4, weights
wed: 6x6.5k erg
thu: outing in 8, weights
fri: outing in 4
sat: outing in 8

*has no words*

*especially for wednesday*

mmm chocolate.. good call : )

Hmmm, it looks like we're not doing Cardinals simply because the captain is in a bad mood, the reply to my question was 'feel free to sort it out yourself', and my request for contact details to do so seems to be getting ignored... Bloody women
