Ten years ago, I would have been sitting in the six seat for H in this race (scroll down to the April 26th results). I honestly can’t remember whether or not we won 10 years ago, although I think my overall history at HYPs was not strong in my three years of the race… Sprints usually went better. I know I was stroking the eight when we lost at Y in 1991… after that race I was moved to the six seat. Ten years ago, in 1993… I don’t remember where it was (!), but I don’t think we won. In 1994, on the Charles, I can still remember the P coxswain saying “I’ve got John Roberts” somewhere in the last 500m. Yes, you’re not supposed to hear these things, but your name catches your ear even with your head in the boat. We didn’t win that race, as far as I can remember. Why is it hard to remember these races?
