The first of our lent bumps reports, here's stroke seat Eleanor Vincent for W2:
"Day one was a strong start, chasing Emma W4. We didn’t let their quick start faze us, getting one whistle well before First Post. A spectacular corner from Ben meant we were able to bump in the Gut.
Day two was our longest day of rowing, chasing Eddie’s II. Another strong start had us on three whistles by the middle of the Gut, but we couldn’t quite close the gap around Grassy. A crash up ahead forced a rerow and though we made it to one whistle and were within a length coming onto the Reach, we rowed over.
Day three, determined to catch Eddie’s II (and a little wary of King’s II behind), W2 stormed the start and closed even faster than before, bumping just after First Post.
On the final day, we were chasing Medwards II, and starting cannon or not, we were going to get them. Bumping before First Post, it was our fastest bump of the campaign!"
What a fantastic performance from W2! Not to mention a speedy getting on race to join the bumps action again for the first time since 2020! 🌿
We're incredibly proud of all their hard work, sending a big thanks to their LBC Georgina, and look forward to seeing many of them return for Mays!
