UK Bound - Next Stop Henley-on-Thames

Sitting at JFK and am about to board for a nice long flight to Heathrow to meet up with the Four Score and Four rowers who will be racing in the Thames Cup. I can't really describe how excited I am to be rowing in a competitive eight again on a stage as storied and prestigious as the Henley Royal Regatta. There's an idea about self-motivated training and the enjoyment of trying to make a boat go fast that is ridiculously fun, fascinating, and totally engrossing.

The story of Trinity Women's Rowing this past season is one of great highs and surprising lows...and I'm looking forward to recapping it over the next few posts but more importantly I'm excited to look forward towards helping create a new standard for 2011-2012.
