Confident win, shocking start, but they had a worse one.
Well, we beat the scum, but our hearts weren't really in it all the way, effectively stopping putting power down once a length up. Much to learn, but hey, we beat them!

Time: 3:38

Completely awesome, best row of the day, beautifully chunky, and good power all the way to the finish line.
Favourite quote of the day:
"Another Length!!" every 10 strokes from dear Seb.

Great result today guys, that final was the best we've rowed all term. The commitment never dropped for a second. One week til bumps so lets just keep our focus and translate everything from today forward into our first race.
(I have race recordings for Churchill and Emmanuel if anyone wants to relive the experience.)

Sweet rowing, best start of the day and we just didn't really want to stride, going over the course rating at least 36 we just wanted it too much, a pleasing end to a good days racing!
