After they cross the finish line, she stops the race and saves it.  The boat goes back to land and Victoria talks to Coach Jeff about the piece.  They pull up the data and run through it in real time, listening to what Victoria says and taking note on how it affects the different numbers (split, stroke rate, accelerometer readings, etc).  They decide that she should say "Let's take 10 strokes for MIT!" more often, especially near the middle third of the race, which is where the acceleration readings on the boat were lowest. Victoria sends the data to Jeff so that he can review it in more depth tomorrow morning on his copy of iCoxBox or on a computer.
