Torpids: Day Two

Woho! Halfway there!

Today we started off in ninth position. We knew we didn't have to worry about the people in tenth (since we had bumped them yesterday), so we all focused in on rowing our best possible race. We were chasing St. Hilda's College today. However, before we could catch them, they had bumped New College. Unfortunately for New College, they crashed into the bank and were effectively "bumped" (aka passed) by eight crews.

So, in the end we got our bump without actually having to crash blades (or worse actual boats) with any other crew. We rowed very well as a team today and pulled through right to the finish line.

What's more, Madgalen women have never been this high up in the standings before (eighth!) It's a record for us! Altogether another great day for Magdalen women's rowing.
