Eve of the A Final

Well we have just had our last training row. All the hard work of the last 3 ½ months is about to come to a head! This is it…the A Final of the LTA4+ at the World Rowing Championships. I still get goose bumps when I say it because I still don’t think that most of us really believe that we are here!

There is nothing more that we can do to prepare for tomorrow except have a good night’s sleep. All the work has been done that can be done and we just have to go out there and give it everything we have. Actually more than everything we have.

We go in as the underdogs in this race. We are in Lane 1 and hopefully oblivious to every other crew in that race. We have to go into this race believing in ourselves and our abilities and I am pretty sure that every one of us in this crew do!

There is nothing to lose in this race. We know that it will hurt like hell, but it is only just over 3 minutes of pain…then it is all over!

We have had so many messages of support and you have no idea how much that has contributed to our belief. Whatever the outcome we will know that we have given it our all!
