Oxford win 155th Oxford Cambridge Boatrace

Wow, what a race... from the start of the race I really thought Cambridge had the better rhythm and desire to win the race as even though Oxford had the first corner they managed to remain level and even pull ahead coming into their big corner.

Cambridge managed to pull ahead here by a length and really looked good but then Oxford counter-attacked and took the rating up to 40, I couldn't believe they took it up so high and Cambridge didn't respond. Don't know if their cox didn't pick it up or if they couldn't, heard on the TV that she asked for one more pip but that was only picking it up from 34 to 35 while Oxford was rating at 40 strokes per minute.

Oxford easily took a length lead then and going into the final corner through Barnes Bridge had the advantage. When you go up on a crew in a Boatrace you can just sit there and push away from the crew, suddenly you don't feel so tired and you just love every second of it. Oxford did that and looked so relaxed then with their stroke and Number 7 giving them an awesome rate.

Think they ended up winning by 6lengths, that is heart breaking for Cambridge but Oxford had one guy in their crew at 6ft 8 and the other at 6ft 9 - that is just crazy! All I need to do now is grow a bit...
