With Brianna before the Nashau race

Nashua race with Brianna. Not a great start, due to the waves, and ended up with Kevin and Nick. Rode up to the top with them, trying to get on their side wave but pretty much every time we tried Nick would not let us. Good top turn, and then riding back down to the trestle on their stern wave again (numberous attempts to move up, but they just wouldn't let us get there). After the trestle, finally got alongside them and then it was more traditional wave riding, catching the boat in front of us slowly. Shortly after the bottom turn a crew that had swum after hitting a tree caught back up with us. Final corner before the top buoy turn of the short loop, which is shallow, Nick and Kevin were struggling because of the water depth and the other mens team that was inside them in the shallows so I went for it, and we gapped both of them by about 3 boat lengths really quickly. Kept on the gas and got away and stayed away, gaining on the third place boat, but we didn't have quite enough time to catch them. Finished a boat length back, in fourth place for C2's
