Quote From Coxswain Jack Lee
"What more fitting a setting than the biggest head race in the world (Head of the Charles)!  We started with high energy, which was bolstered every time we passed a boat.  With the help of my teammates, I was able to hug each turn, so they had to row with as little distance as possible, which gave us both a physical and mental advantage.  Even with all the screaming spectators, glaring camera, and competing boats against us, we were entirely focused on our rhythm and what was happening with our own boat.  My teammates and I are super proud of our performance, and we can't wait to carry this energy into the rest of the season and beyond."
