yesterday was the day i had been waiting for, for a long enough time. i hadnt raced in soo long because of the summer holiday break. we had to leave at 7.45!! this was because we had to drive all the way to... somewhere near bath i think it was. Emily, her mother and her little sister picked my mother and myself up and off we went.
the first race was incredible. my crew really pushed to the limit. we were going ever so quickly. however, the wind then hit us near the end. we had to keep fighting through the pain. trust me, it was painful. we finished in a time of i think 7.28.6? i think it was. we had won so far!! we were all so happy but decided not to get too excited because last time this happened and someone from another division beat us at the last minute. we looked like idiots.
it came down to either winning or my schools other crew beating mine. i was so sure we were going to beat them. we do have more power, its been proven before. however, they beat us. i dont know by how much. i came to the conclusion that we did win in our hearts, because if we didnt have the bit of wind at the end, we would have beaten them easy. they didnt have any wind. but i guess thats life. i was so angry when they went up and collected their rewards. not only because we had been beaten, but, because we got beaten by our friends.
i then had to cox another one of our quads. that was DEFINITELY not successful. i crashed, RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING. i felt so bad. they lost so much time there. i needed the toilet, SO BADLY. and anything i did mad me need it even more. so i started thinking about other things. the race then started whilst my head was thinking of butterflies and cup cakes. by the time i started to turn, it was too late. we went straight into the bush and got stuck for a good minute or so. they all shouted at me, and quite rightly they should of. im such a douche.
there is a positive to this day though! we got a burger king on the way home. because we're fattys. this got me out of my bad mood. just the thought of knowing we could of won. weve never won :( however, it was an improvement... last year Emily and i came 4th in our double. so we're improving. i couldnt work out whether it was the burger king or the tiredness that made me go hyper. think it was a bit of both actually. i often go hyper when im tired. weird, right? i ended up biting Emily, laughing ever so loudly at the service station and getting all the lovely, tired people there to stare at me like i was on some kind of drug. i also thought i spotted the effiel tower on the way home. these arejust a few examples of the crazy things i do.
i then got home at like 9.15pm. i decided i would go on facebook and upload the photos of rowing. i sat on facebook ALL night. fun.
