I’ve read and watched a bunch of different descriptions of the best line to take through the course. I decided to try to put it all on a map so I can try to memorize it. The key thing for me was to try to understand roughly how many stroke it is between different points in the race and where I need to take steering actions. Apparently the turn for the Weeks bridge is a big one that you can mess up by going too soon or too late.
Good luck! Reminds me of the skifhead in Amsterdam

7500m is a long race! Lots of turns too. Have you rowed it?

Many many times. Four times as a junior, about 3 times as a senior. It’s a great race with lots of nice turns. Best one is the Grote Bocht (Big Turn) which rowers usually call Hoerenbocht (put that in Google Translate). But Omval is tricky too, having to line up for the Berlagebrug.
