Today
we had seven
who had never
been on
the Tideway.
My lines
were probably
even worse
than these ones.
Next year
we'll have more
experience
and speed;
next year
we'll place
higher.
Beth
almost went
to hospital
but still pushed.
Do the men
still
think girls
don't have grit?
This was never going to be an easy race with a comparatively inexperienced crew, and yet we came through strong and gave it everything we had. Longer and harder than anything we had done as a crew before we continued on overtaking 2 crews. Overall an incredible experience (yet a little painful if I may say so myself), and a day I will never forget.
