We started the warm-up in a zig-zag fashion since we didn't have any proper outing at all this week due to exams. But we quickly picked up our rowing skills and moved smoothly as a whole.
The first half of the race was a pretty good start. Ilya always had amazing corners in the races. Matt and Sunith gave their hardest push around the corners.
When we got to the plough reach, I thought we might stop pushing: the wind was quite strong;everyone got a bit tired. At that time the awesome bank party gave us their loudest moral support. I also started shouting 'heads up','legs down',just to distract myself thinking about the pain. I didn't realise we passed the finsih line and kept shouting as I thought there were still 20 more strokes to go.
This was definitely my best race ever. Well done crew mates!! Emma,thank you for pushing us so hard!!
right, more electronics 'fun' for me i suppose. Can't wait for the bumps!!
