Having failed to draw anyone slow in all three competitions, I thought this race was my best chance of actually winning something. Sadly, it seems I would have needed considerably more of both fitness and ability to scull to beat him today. Still, it appears I surprised him by going off far too hard; he told me afterwards he got to first post corner with me just inside station thinking that we'd both gone off far too hard. Unfortunately, it quickly turned out he was right; approximately on station coming round grassy, he then disappeared into the distance somewhat as I returned to my "pretend its a 5k race" style of sculling, in spite of Bryn's best efforts to persuade me actually rating high might help.
Thanks are due to Bryn, who definitely gained me a good few seconds, to no avail.
