After a reasonably brutal training period from Saturday through to yesterday afternoon it was pretty exciting to see the squad respond in a great fashion this morning. In wet and windy conditions the 1V and 2V group did some excellent controlled rating and open rating pieces while the 3V/N group banged heads with some more competitive work in fours. It's always amazing to see that light bulb of understanding go on in an athlete's mind after a certain number of repetitions.
In only five short days we've seen technical awareness increase and a better ability to articulate what we want to have happen within the boat.
What's on the horizon?
- Henley invitations to be finalized
- Delivery of new racing shell
- March 29th Travel Race to Ithaca, NY to face Ithaca College, William Smith, and Marist College
- Parent. alumni, and team clothing online store to open on March 24th and stay open until April 4th. Items will include a parka, crew neck sweatshirt, men's and women's polo shirts, a technical t-shirt, and potentially a reversible fleece/supplex vest. Pictures of these items will all be available on the Boathouse website.
