Well I was at Llandaff, in less experienced crews, two of which I'd never rowed in before race day. The sprint crew on Sunday was decent, and made the final due to the opposition crashing and had a close loss in the final. The Saturday crews need to do a lot of work to be competitive.
This weekend I raced in a more familiar lineup, with a new stroke guy. We've had less than two weeks to prepare, and had a big technical focus. It paid off - we made the final yesterday, winning two rounds to get there. Blew it a little in the final, with a poor start.
Came back today, and won a semi and final to win the pot. Nailed the start both times and held them off in both races - much faster splits than yesterday. Now I have to step back again until after PBP. Great to get a final and a pot despite having spent limited time on the water this summer.
