Friday morning row complete and the trailer is loaded for our first foray to Lake Quinsigamond - home of the QRA and the New England Championships this year. I took this picture this morning about 6:20 AM and the moon was still out and looked incredible. It was fantastic to see the moon and the sun rise all in the span of twenty minutes!I believe that we've prepared better this week with regards to structure, change, and focus. I really hope that the athletes are starting to recognize that their physical talents can both help and hurt the boat even if their focus is just the smallest bit different. I guess it really does come down to trust in your teammates that you're all replicating the stroke pattern as closely as you can.
Saturday we race Mt.Holyoke, Smith, Clark University, and Holy Cross - it should be a fantastic test for our squad because of the depth of the teams we'll be racing.
