赛事训练惨无人道。预备队员每天承受两次高强度训练达七月之久,一次在水上,另一次在室内划艇设备或测功机上。期间队员花两个小时腿蹬臂拉,做满全程比赛的六百次划桨动作。训练中心脏每分钟跳两百多次;乳酸暴增教肌肉如遭芒刺;脆弱的毛刺血管在肺部炸裂。为达到体能要求划桨手每日需消耗六千卡路里,高出正常水平一倍有余。还得在导师、督导、论文、考试和长年受苦的女友间折冲樽俎,权衡轻重。
Blood Over Water stands out from the mass of sporting memoirs thanks to the authors open portrayal of their relationship as the build-up to the race intensifies. David, theyounger by three years, speaks unashamedly of his struggle to keep up with thehigh-achieving James, his emotions swinging from pride and love to envy and hate. Jamesdreads failure and is consumed by the fear that his kid brother might beat him at his chosenendeavour. As race day approaches the two opposing camps eat meals at opposite ends ofthe family kitchen, communication is reduced to curt nods, and the feeling of brotherhoodis replaced by one of hostility.
《水上血战》从众多体育回忆录中脱颖而出,归功于两位作者坦然描述自准备阶段到赛事白热化的兄弟情谊。小三岁的大卫毫无顾忌地述说赶上高水平詹姆斯的奋斗史,情感或爱慕有加,或嫉恨如狂。詹姆斯极惧失败,生怕被弟弟在他为之奋斗的事业上击败,这念头搞得他心力憔悴。赛事临近,两兄弟在家里厨房相对而坐一起吃饭,闲聊不再,日渐寡言,手足之情让位给敌我戒备。
