One of the most epic races of my life - the Quarter final of Henley Royal Regatta 2009, against Belmont Hill of the USA. So epic, my lips went numb during it. This was our final - if we won this, we had a straightforward Saturday to reach the final. Belmont came over saying they were the only crew who could challenge Eton - that, after how Eton embarrassed everyone at National Schools, none of the British crews were up to snuff.
