In 2007/2008 We came in at a dismal 4th out of 4 boats. We were consistently in last or 2nd last place. This was the first real racing we did and it showed (2007/2008 Results). This year we had a very full summer racing program under our belts and it showed. Our confidence and performance was at a whole new level. I also finally identified a issue with my PHRF rating that gave us 18 seconds; so not only had we been battling our own abilities but we had handicapped ourselves on top of it. Unfortunately we only identified the miscalculation mid-way through the series. Despite the PHRF fiasco we came in 3rd place out of 7 wining one race and finishing consistently in the top 2 or 3. In fact if we had identified our rating issue and attended one more race we would have won the series. It is pretty painful for me to pour over old results and recalculate all the wins I would have had.
I would like to take some time to thank all of those who came out and raced with me and the Vancouver Rowing Club who hosted this excellent series.
