There's a House Across the River, But Alas, I Cannot Swim

Hellooooooooooooooo! =D

So from the 1st through the 4th of June (the end of 5th Week), SBH Boat Club raced in Summer VIII's, which was a series of bumps races just like Torpids only in much nicer weather. I thought the team did incredibly well. On our first day we rowed over (didn't get a bump or get bumped), the next day we bumped Osler House but they didn't recognize it before we were bumped by Queen's College, the next day we were bumped by St. Anne's, and the last day we were bumped by Wadham. So we didn't get Blades, but we didn't get Spoons (meaning that we got bumped everyday) either. And the team looked absolutely amazing on the water, which makes me think that if they continue to train as they have been, next year they'll be a definite threat.

Summer VIII's Team

Summer VIII's was my last time racing with SBH Boat Club, which is hard for me to believe. I spent a lot of time with these guys and made quite a few friends. It's hard for me to imagine the rest of my time at Oxford not racing down to the river and yelling commands at these guys at least three times a week. I had an absolutely amazing time this year, so thanks, guys. I will miss all of you next year. Hopefully, I'll be able to come back and cox for Benet's again, but in the meantime, I'm sure they'll keep working hard and blow Osler out of the water. =D
