The last few days have been busy. On Tuesday, we left Pittsburgh at 5:45 am for our 10 hour drive down to Tennessee in our 5 van caravan. When we arrived at the race course we unloaded and rigged our boats, but as we prepared to go for a practice row the officials closed the course. At 5:45 that night we had a gathering with the Canadian and U.S. Women's teams where we had appetizers and talked with other rowers. Afterward we were able have a practice row at 7 and then checked into our hotel. Later that night we headed over to the grocery store to pick up food for the next week.
Yesterday was the first day of racing and the team raced in the intermediate fours, Junior A pairs, and Junior A eights. Although the fours did not make it to semi-finials, they had good races against the college-age crews. the A and B pairs both came first in their heat and will be competing in semis on Friday. The two other pairs came just shy of making semis. All three of the eights came second place in their heats and race in semis on Friday.
Today we are racing in the Junior A fours and the Intermediate eights.
