GB U23 M8+ 5:26.02 2k

Some archive footage of the U23 Men's 8+ doing a final speed order 2k, at the GB Training Centre in Caversham, a week out from the World Championships in Varese, ITA. The conditions are nearly dead flat, with a slight head breeze at points. Wind Direction 0. Wind speed 0. In video passing the Junior Men’s 8 who went sub 5:40 I forget specifically their time. In the first heat, our crew knocked out a 5:25 in flat conditions placing 1st and automatically seeding as #1 in the A Final. Ironically the final had a strong direct headwind, and we resulted in winning the championships with a 5:51 final time.
