Thought it'd be good to note this down and track our progress thereafter...
During the pacing session with Vets et al the previous week, it was observed that our surge was not as powerful as it could be, mainly because we were pulling at half-blade. The coordination was perfect though.
On hindsight - as 'right pacer of the day' for that training - I think it was because we were going too fast, mainly during maintenance. When that happens - either coordination gives, or power gives (ie. row at half-blade in order to keep up with the pace). So that's why we were 'punctured' by the latter half of the race.
Nonetheless, a silver lining in this - I am glad we are all aligned that Coordination is of foremost importance.
If there ain't coordination - there ain't nothing.
So! No worries - we'll find our pace as a team. Steadily and surely - it will come. In the meantime, let's keep them blades fully in the water!
