We're here at Boston Logan Airport and we're about three minutes from boarding the plane...we had our last row on the Connecticut this morning and did a really cracking 1000m piece and a further 90" piece that was some of the most aggressive rowing I've seen our crews perform.
Afterwards, the packing of the travel box, oars, and boathouse went seamlessly - I don't know if I could be working with a better group of athletes right now as they have been so committed to making this trip something special.
When we arrive we'll head directly to the Wilson's residence and then head on down to the Henley Rowing Club where we should pick up our equipment - a Janousek 8+ and Stelph 4+ from Winchester College and an Empacher 8+ from Magdalen College.
After talking about this idea of going to Henley last summer it's absolutely unbelievable to think that we're actually about to go!
I'll have to write about the rethinking the structure of our season and weekly practices to maximize success. If you are a recruit we'll be in touch soon and please keep checking this blog for updates on our progress.
ON TO ENGLAND!
