Henley Day 6

Tuesday June 28th - the day before racing. Two practices again...one at 10:30 and another at 6:30 PM. The boat felt a little better and we were able to avoid a lot of the traffic on the course - did some inside arm, start work, and 18-22 spm steady state. Made progress but in retrospect we probably could have demanded more ratio from one another...would it have made a lot of difference? Who knows but much better to try and not leave it as an unknown variable. Our 2nd lap felt better and our final trip in the evening was better still. Despite not a lot of time in the boat we were able to take some short bursts that felt legitimately long and quick. Scheduled to race at 6:30 PM tomorrow evening - one of the last races of the day!
