ULBC take on the Challenge at the Snowdon Challenge
On the 5th of March ULBC took part in the first Snowdon Challenge. Each team had an ergo (rowing machine) on which they raced as a relay team. The race lasted for 20 minutes 15 seconds, which was Cambridge’s winning time in the 1950 race. Nathanial Reilly O'Donnell and Cameron Nichol were forced to pull out on the day of the race. Forcing the club captain Fil Ljubicic and UCL President Alex Davidson to take on the challenge. Against such Luminaries as Andrew Hodge and Alex Partridge we were always racing against the odds. Our team started well but the strength in depth of the others started to show after 4 minutes. We finished 6th in a tight group for the last three place including IC and Oxford. Although no one wants to loose being close to the Oxford team with $ present blues (including the Winklvoss brothers) Hodge and Reed. The club owes a depth of gratitude to Tom Broadway for burying himself for the cause. Thank you Tom.
