The mens V8 heats - inside story
Talking with Coach Reischman a few minutes ago; here's Dave's take on the heat.
We were off the line well, took a bit longer than normal to settle into our rhythm. Stayed well in contact, rowed a strong middle thousand, walked thru Northeastern as we knew we'd have to (they have a very solid first thousand) in the last 400, and finished within a length of Brown. All in all, we knew we'd have to row a very good race to make it thru, and went just about as fast as we could.
Pace was just where we wanted it, we beat the crew we needed to beat, and hats off to a terrific row by the Dartmouth guys. That doesn't make it any easier to be out of the grands.
Next weekend we'll be racing Dartmouth in a dual.
In the meantime, the guys are ready to go out hard in the petites.
