Fun racing yesterday morning to finish off the third week of Bulldog Rowing Camp. We ran four races - one of mixed experienced and beginner rowers, the 3rd and 4th boys boats, two even girl's eights, and the 1st and 2nd boys boats. One of the best aspects of the camp is that the parents pile on to the Stillwater Wakeless launches and watch the 1000m races - very often it's the first time that they've seen their sons and daughters row up close...they're also shocked at the distance the rowers need to travel and the effort that's expended when they see them close up.The question of development always comes up afterwards as parents and the rowers try to figure out what they need to do to row in college and hopefully get recruited. A few words of advice: have fun, improve your fitness, and if you love rowing find different ways to do it...join a club, row in ergometer races, row in the summer, etc.
We'll be working on getting in contact with all of our recruits this week, closing the books on the 2007-2008 season, and improving all of our online media.
