It turns out that we had a very short stopover in Baltimore and flew right out to San Diego arriving nearly 20 minutes early! Fantastic because it did allow us to get our gear and over to the ZLAC boathouse (the oldest women's rowing club originally founded in 1892 www.zlac.org) We did a trip of Mission Bay just to get sorted out in our new shells and we have a few adjustments to make for tomorrow but that's to be totally expected. In one of those "this is really awesome I can't believe it's true" moments, the team ended up having a bonfire hosted by the Pool family on Kellogg Beach in La Jolla and enjoyed the sunset, pizza, and a whole lot of digital photography.
Regular start time today to let the bodies rest a little more and then we'll do two short rows to get reacclimitized for tomorrow's racing. The venue looks well set up with enclosures, organized boat areas, and it will likely be packed by midday today.
