Looking slightly rougher than it was earlier.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 30/03/2024 15:53

budge over a bit Cambridge!

TressiliansStone · 30/03/2024 15:55

Cambridge ahead enough not to clash. For now. New bend...

Thread is normally busier than this. Everyone must be making the most of the Spring sunshine!

OhYouBadBadKitten · 30/03/2024 15:56

Proper clear water between the boats now.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 30/03/2024 15:56

Looks like Cambridge at the moment.

Thanks Tresslians Grin [cheers]

OhYouBadBadKitten · 30/03/2024 16:00

Beautiful lighting on the river!

Most kind. I've got tea at the moment.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 30/03/2024 16:03

Sounds like Oxford hit badly by flooding impacting their training.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 30/03/2024 16:04

First Cambridge rower really not rowing now! Hope he's ok.

TressiliansStone · 30/03/2024 16:05

Cambridge stroke is destroyed. Don't catch a crab!

OP posts:
TressiliansStone · 30/03/2024 16:05

Oh all done!

OP posts:
OhYouBadBadKitten · 30/03/2024 16:05

ooof.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 30/03/2024 16:06

I hope that lad's OK. He looked absolutely spent.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 30/03/2024 16:06

He did. Poor lad.

TressiliansStone · 30/03/2024 16:07

Power boat straight out there to check on the Cambridge crew. Help not needed, it seems.

Not like a few years ago when that poor No 1 collapsed at the winning line and no one in the boat noticed for ages.

Guy at the back looks like he was just getting warmed up

OhYouBadBadKitten · 30/03/2024 16:16

I want to go outside, but also want to see the stroke standing up and being ok.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 30/03/2024 16:20

One of the Oxford crew saying that Oxford hit by e. coli and he'd been throwing up that morning. That's pretty bombshell stuff.

TressiliansStone · 30/03/2024 16:35

Yes, maybe some good can come of this.

Enjoy your sunshine!

Did anyone see who won the reserve men's race? I can't seem to find the results online yet and they didn't show it on tv
