We pushed pretty hard in the third 500m and we knew everyone was going to sprint like crazy and your life is on the line. We did it early and just hung on, and it worked. Looking back we were very close in those races. We were always in the harder and faster heats so it would be nice not to have the ‘if onlys’ after this regatta and get into the final. We can make the final. We’re building, and we must just keep building again for Thursday (the semifinal) – that’s all you can really do. We’re all good rowers but we haven’t quite nailed it in the four yet, but when we do we’ll be up there. It’s all about confidence.
