We rock. M1 up 3, and the rest of the club did well, so we win the John Jenner trophy for 2013.
Tally for the week:
* day 1: epic row-over n front of Sharks
* day 2: bumped Nines 2
* day 3: bumped St Neots (revenge)
* day 4: bumped Press
Press had a GoPro on a rigger, which sounds like a good idea, but doesn't really work that well as you can't see their bladework. You can see us closing on them, though the track cuts off just before or on the bump. Here, but unless you're a fan of pre-start tension skip to about 3:00.

Still on the rowing I'm afraid. A row-over today: two years ago we'd have killed for a high-quality row-over like tonight, but after yesterdays superb bump-up, tonight felt like a let down.
Thinking (and drinking, in the Waterman again, a pub I'm coming to like) about it afterwards, it all seemed…
Bumps again, hurrah. The distant sound of gunfire. The culmination of a lot of peoples training for a long time. And, as I discovered once again while waiting for the start, a deeply unpleasant / scary / unnerving experience. It didn't help that we had to stand around for 20 mins waiting for the 4-…
