'flu was hitting hard by this time, and although the crew was complete for this race, at least one temperature was on its way up to 102 by the following day. The crew went off the start looking better than in training, and the effort was maintained throughout the race. Technique deteriorated over the course, especially when we hit a strong head wind, but the cover was still better than other crews at the Great Britain. Bristol University beat us by a second. They could be useful training companions in the Summer.
