Putney Bridge: At 9am on a Saturday
A Saturday or so ago, we decided to go cheer on our friend Kristin who was rowing in a race. The exact same route as Oxford vs. Cambridge did a couple weekends ago. The race started early and since none of us have cars we had to rely on public transportation...
We arrived at 940am... the race was suppose to start at 945am. I was practicing using my sign and cheering for the random rowers that we spotted when we first walked up to the bridge.
All of a sudden my phone rings and its Kristin my initial thought was why aren't you rowing???!!!! She said I saw that you called real early this morning... Where are you? I said we are on Putney Bridge where are you? Then she said it "The race is tomorrow". Me, Ena, and Mike wanted to die. As you tell by the looks on our faces below we nearly did. That was Kristin on the phone in the picture.
Did we go to the race on Sunday? No, sorry we were done. The stars were just not aligned.
The upside? Ena came to our place beforehand and I made us all pancakes, scrambled eggs and a bowl of mixed fruit. Yum!

Oxford vs. Cambridge: Boat Race 2011
Oxford vs. Cambridge: Boat Race 2011
A race that has been around for 150+ years.... Sunday we made our way down to Furnival Gardens and checked out one of the biggest races and crowds of the year... It was a ton of fun and if you don't already know Oxford won...
I was also randomly picked by two guys for a YouTube video about the race I "on purpose" never raised my sunglasses. I'm curious to know if they will ever email me the link... we shall see... with my luck I'll end up on some crazy billboard... oh well... we shall see...
Here are some pictures of the race and everything else:
