LEANDER VS OXFORD UNIVERSITY | PRE BOAT RACE FIXTURE

We head to the Tideway to race against Oxford University over a section of the Boat Race course, starting at Putney, finishing at the Chiswick Steps. This time, we provided a better opponent to race against than in the Cambridge fixture, but still, it seems we did not race how we intended. We were dropped off the start, almost losing a length, clawed back with some good steering from our cox and were not able to hold off a late charge from Oxford in the closing strokes of the piece.

Close pieces like this provide scenarios for us as athletes to put ourselves under pressure and see how we can perform on the day of a race. Sometimes you can perform very well under training without any pressure but as soon as there is some pressure in a race environment some athletes can respond negatively. With the UK race calendar not packed full of races to gain this experience we try to get as much as we can and racing Cambridge and Oxford is an amazing opportunity. Thank you to the athletes of these universities!
