Yesterday was the Eight's Head, held on the River Thames from Mortlake to Putney (the boat race course in reverse), it's the second biggest sporting event held in London (for participation numbers - London Marathon being the first).
I was rowing in the UL first eight, my brother Ben was in the UL lightweight eight. I'm sat at "7" - second rower from the left. My crew finished 17th overall. The race itself went ok, some scrappy patches that will have cost us a little bit of time. The final position is alright, top 15 was really the aim.
This lunchtime I'm heading off to Varese, Italy for our final training camp before the GB Final Trials (16th/17th April). I will be in the pair with T-dogg again (Tom Ransley to his mum). It will be a chance to practice our skills, develop our speed and finalise our race plan for the trials ahead.
