Racing

Today was my first race in a rowing Eight. It was a bit of a milestone for me and went well enough - I didn't do anything monumentally stupid, and identified some issues that I need to work on. But it was also good fun to experience a 2.6k head race, having watch James cox so many. Yesterday I had also gone out on the river, at 8am, despite having been rather ill the previous night, but I was glad that I made it - it was useful to have the practice the day before the race and the outing wouldn't have happened if I'd not turned up!
