W3’s first outing of the term ended up being the Spring Head to Head race. Despite never having rowed as a crew together, the race made a great first outing, with a respectable time and Queens’ W3 being the only Women’s Thirds boat to compete.
The bumps campaign did not go quite as planned with a different cox everyday and a needing a couple of subs for the rowing (thanks W4!), but was still fantastic fun. Whilst closing in on Darwin II on the first day we were sadly bumped by Christ’s behind us. After two more bumps, however, the crew put everything into the race of the last day, storming ahead of Jesus IV to gain a row-over and avoid spoons!
