Two people didn't turn up, so last was good enough to make the repechage. I had an ok row, but the other guy was a bit quicker. (Tom C)

The starter chose to leave a pause of about half an hour between "attention" and "go". During this time one of my blades unsquared itself, and as such my first two strokes were completely ineffective, so was a couple of lengths down immediately. If anything I got a bit closer to the guy in the next lane (who lost by a second), but never back into contention.

Need to move the boat in a straight line, and do some more fast pieces to work out the right rhythm. (Tom C)
