one one-hundredth

of a second that is.

That is what we lost to Penn by today. Possibly the closest finish I have ever had in a race. They had to break out the photo finish thinger and everything.

As close as that was, its very disappointing, as we are now going into Sprints ranked last. This is going to make it very difficult to beat all the teams we need to in order to make it to the Grand Final.

Coach was talking to us like we had lost it already. Leading off with, "Next year we have to..." That kinda sucked. I'm not gonna be here next year. I can't make up for not being strong enough this year. I don't know. I think he just realized that we row well, we can't get any better technically at this point. If only we were a little stronger, maybe we could beat these teams. It always seems like we are right there. Losing to Columbia by a few tenths, or our own Varsity by a few tenths, or today by one one-hundreth. Were right there, but we can't seem to break out. It's incredibly frustrating.

Next weekend is Sprints. Hopefully this week we train and taper, and everything goes according to plan (for once.)
