The Best Outing : We had the most tiring yet fulfilling practice stretch today. I can't remember in the earlier four regattas the way we really gave it all in this practice outing. Potti replaced Tarun in the "3" position and the rest of the 'A' team remained the same....Niks as 'cox', Me in 'Stroke', Srinidhi in '2' and Wacky as 'Bow'.

We started the practice from the bridge where races normally are started. We figured this will be a normal outing where we usually stop mid way thru, take rest and then proceed. But that was not to be. Nik had other intentions when he gave us the race start. And added to this, Karthik, our coach along with Captain ( or was it James ?) followed us in the motor boat. That certainly added seriousness in our outing. Half way thru the race, we were all pooped but Nikhil kept us egging on. Just when I think we are completely drained out, I don't know where we get the energy from to do a good "Take her home" ( the final 'give-it-all-you-got' power ). This training race was a big confidence booster for us and we really get this feeling that we can cream the competiton in the 'Fours' category.
