Ready for Quinsig

We're heading to Lake Quinsigamond tomorrow morning to race against Smith College and Mount Holyoke. The racing will begin at 8:20 and be finished by 9:40 AM. The river conditions have made rowing incredibly challenging in East Hartford with the Connecticut River being extremely high due to snow melt up north and some rain in the vicinity.

Now that we're finally approaching racing on a buoyed course it should be a blast to see how well we can execute our plan!

I look forward to seeing Friends of the program at the lake. We'll be boating out of the Donahue Rowing Center.

Does your heart rate go up?

Spring has sprung

Fantastic Tour de Gym in Fitness I today - eight students doing a combination of squats, burpees, rowing, jump rope, box jumps, thrusters, and some other exercises that were, on the whole, incredibly challenging. I hope that they surprised themselves in their ability to push through and manage their effort the second time we did the workout.

Today we're back on the flooded river trying to be as efficient as possible in preparation for Smith, Mount Holyoke, and Holy Cross. Both Smith and Holyoke are ranked highly within the region and it should be a good test of our developing speed on all the levels of our program. It will also be our first visit to Lake Quinsigamond since last year's New England Championships.

Focus for today: Allowing intensity to flow continuously and understanding that balance point between the technical and incredible intensity. Finally a beautiful day as well - 61 degrees and sunny!

Parents must park at Robertson School – 227 Cross St. in Coventry, CT

Follow directions to the boathouse, http://www.uconnhuskies.com/AllStories/WRowing/2004/04/07/20040407.html , then proceed past the boathouse for .4 miles. The school will be on your left.

Park in UPPER lot – this is important as we want to be considerate of townspeople who are using the school tomorrow morning.

To access the upper lot, enter the 2^nd driveway (just past the main school building) and drive through the lower lot. You will then walk down to the lower lot where the bus will be waiting.

Our bus will pick people up at 8 and 9 AM. We will drop people off after the races are finished.

The school is .4 miles from the boathouse. Feel free to walk to the venue.

Please do not park on the road nor at the regatta site. UConn has to apply for a regatta permit from the DEP which stipulates only a certain number of vehicles in the launch site. That number is met with the buses and trailers.

There will not be a tent or cooking on site as well. So any munchies will have to put onto the bus or in the cab of the truck if it is raining. The area around the site is muddy so please bring boots and rain gear. We will be returning to the boathouse to off load if you care to pick up your child there after the unload please do so. If you can not make the event but will be in Hartford in the pm you can come to the boathouse to see a taped delayed broadcast of the racing on the big screen at 12:30. The one proviso is if it is raining we will likely not expose the cameras to the elements.
