woooo! look at that! just watching it on live feed was exciting enough, imagine if i actually went down with the pembroke crew to watch it! mmm. oh now it's making me seriously consider continuing rowing next term.. weather's nice and that winning feeling is all too alluring.. when we win that is. haha. i can't wait for may bumps! from what i've heard, it's even bigger than lent bumps and that already was AMAZING. well, pictures taken from the boat race website...
not your typical rowing picture where all you normally see is the painful expressions on the faces of the rowers.. nice scenary as well along the river thames... oxford is actually surprisingly in the lead here approaching hammersmith.. but according to their cox, "it's men (cambridge) against boys (oxford)", and off the start, it was just juvenile brashness off the blocks that gave oxford the lead... not to mention their boat was almost 30 kg lighter than the cambridge blues! phwar, those heavy monsters! all due to the muscles i would assume.
and nearing the end, it's cambridge pedigree outlasting oxford passion. muaha! AND we had the female cox! no wonder we won... :)
jubilation.
i wonder what it takes to be in that boat... hours and hours of gruelling training and loadsssss of passion i expect. now i see why rich goes out to train ever so regularly every morning... those guys were impressive! boat was sat, power was down. you would think there was something special about them, but all the cox's calls were exactly similar to peter's! leggggs! leggggs! relaxx. relaxx! sit up sit tall!
i think i might row next term...
