Out of my depthAs a schoolkid, I signed up for a public speaking contest purely as a ruse to meet girls. It haunts me still: in front of 300 people, I started to speak, dried up, stood there for what felt like half an hour staring at the floor and then slowly walked back to my seat. Oh, and the girl I liked laughed.
Have you ever been utterly, completely, devastatingly out of your depth?

henley qualifiers - a time trial type racefor those unlucky enough not to be preselected for the royal regatta but reckon they have a chance of being in the top ten or so, therefore getting at least one race.
im sitting behind temple island waiting for the start of the mens quad sculls surrounded by large bemuscled men who all look better than me.
which is not really surprising, as i had only given my 30 a day habit up for about a month and i hadnt rowed in a race since i was abount 15 - some 9 years previously.
2127 metres is a long fucking way. especialy when your so fucked you look like a mong by the barrier - about a quarter of the way in.
