Henley Semi-Final, Cox Recording: Thames vs. Barge Club, USA

- The defining race of our season - coxed by Connie Pidoux. Four continuous semi-finals defeats in the Thames Challenge Cup, no win in our namesake event since 1934 and an "old" crew containing numerous Henley finalists - for many in our crew this was their last chance to win a red box. After being rowed down the previous year to Sport Imperial, it became clear to our coach we weren't chokers, we simply weren't fit enough. With many of us having demanding jobs in the City, it was the case of fitting training in...whether that be going to our work gyms during our lunchbreak or jumping on an erg at 9pm.
From this the results followed, with Thames taking the Remenham, Quintin, Bousted and Hammersmith Headships and securing Vernon Trophy at the Head of the River for the first time since 1962. In the summer, we won at Wallingford Regatta, made a "British Club" 2k record and rowed in a series of superb races against Oxford Brookes and Leander. After Marlow regatta we knew we had the speed and the ability to row crews down; we had to just bring it on the day. For us, Barge was the final, a crew containing ex varsity rowers who showed good speed during the Henley week. And so it proved to be the case - not a pretty row but a challenging one. The next day we rowed to victory in the Thames Challenge Cup by over three lengths.

That push was brilliant, and the mental discipline at the end. Superb rowing Thames.
That ending was so badass. That other crew was completely spent and they just rowed off like it was a normal piece.
Take a shot every time someone says "yeah boiiiis"
Gave that duck the fright of its life at 1:35 :D
Nice write-up, been there with LC and understand many of the issues you raise. Congrats belatedly.
Act like nothing haha
Thats why we called her the 'Ice Queen'
Hairs on the back of the neck stuff... epic coxing!
Great chat from the coxwain
Incredible race. Wow
Excellent!!!!
Dang you can see the ecpresion of pain from the rowers, it gets so hard haha
That was amazing
LMAOO "SQUEEEEEEEZE" I AM DEAD
Wow
What does Zulu launch mean?
Seb Camargo might it be to do with the Zulu film? One row fires, then the second row fires whilst the first reload? Stern four on, bow four on? Who knows!
It’s a secret!
That is one cool cox. I rowed at Henley when at Bedford School.
What a race! Amazing cox
What’s the name of the coxswain? I would love to watch more of her races!
Amazing push there! Curious to know the origin of the 'Zulu' call. Isandlwanha?
Top secret!
"the Athletes & the Warriors" is the clue... into "Heels off the back of that" results in "and they have no idea what the hell happened here!"
Cox is a formidable human being.
Talk about ice cold the end absolutely epic send the yanks home
Congrats Thames!
