"But the most impressive row of the day has to have been that of Imperial College against a strong Goldie crew. Flat out to the Barrier, they whipped a length off Goldie and then asked the question. The Cambridge development squad had no real answer, and Imperial fled up the course to finish in a whipping 6:06, three seconds inside the Lea's course record from 1992 and considerably faster than any other Thames crew in the competition. There are ways in which it is brilliant to be heroes in the last fifty strokes, but to be that hard over the entire course without a sign of flagging is truly incredible and follows a fine tradition of Imperial performance at this regatta."
