After that classy practice start outside the Plough, i think we all felt we were in that good zone- that zone of beast aggression and zen concentration. We'd reached that stage where it didn't matter who were behind or infront of us anymore. We were just going to race our own race and follow our own plan.
Our actual start wasn't quite as good as the practice start (my finishes were a bit shit, sorry!) but we settled into a sweet rhythm with excellent focus: when an imperfection in a stroke occurred it got fixed quickly and got forgotten quickly.
But just as i'd buried the urge to chunder under the motorway bridge, and steeled myself for the long ballbusting row-over, there went the whistle!
wtf?! JfC! Huh?
Within a minute it was all over red rover!
Unfbelievable.
I tell you, I haven't felt that elated for a long while. I wanted to jump in the river
Thanks guys!
And Jenny, cheers for that impeccable line!
Take that, all you hataz!
(and thanks to the selwyn cox too!)

i don't think we rowed much worse than previous days. We just couldn't match Caius' pushes, especially on the reach when they really barnied. We had a good plan, but we weren't reactive enough. Also, possibly, just a little bit of complacency had set in.
But hey! Considering everything, we did good. It's been an insane rollercoaster. And I wouldn't exchange it!
thanks guys.
