Boat Race 2003

Does anybody know where I could watch the whole race?

[MrChaostheory66]

It's strange. Despite not having rowed for an age, I find myself doing breathing exercises as I watch the clip. I can hear my coach shouting :

"Catch, Drive, Finish, Recovery!"

Excellent race. My chicken legs would have given up after 5K.

Oh my god, it's the actual David Livingston! I'm reading your book right now! Amazing stuff. I'm Cambridge myself, but still... Congratulations on a truly epic win. I remember when this happened, it was the only boat race since I was a kid that I didn't watch and I've kicked myself ever since! I read about it afterwards though, and after novicing last year and seeing you guys on TV at the last race I just had to get the book. Just unbelievable.

Respect.

@davidalivingston83 Brilliant book. I'm currently rowing as a J17 at Hampton, and it is truly inspirational. My one criticism would be that I deliberately chose not to find out which crew won before I read it, but then halfway through there was a picture with the caption 'crossing the finish line ahead of Cambridge', which somewhat ruined the surprise. In later editions it might be better to have that picture at the end.

this year only 4 of the entire crew were English lol. a few years time they will all be black apart from the coxswain

some identity.

[ClydeRowing]

Look back to the seventies, Dave Sawier, Ag Michelmore, Al Shealey etc, there were always non Brits in the crews, and rightly so! Any student of the university can trial for the crew, and the uni admits people based on academic merit, not nationality or race. Restricting membership of a uni club on the basis on nationality or race is just wrong
