Teamwork

A shameless plug and shout out to my awesome teammates as we travel to San Diego’s Mission Bay for the San Diego Crew Classic Regatta… “the largest regatta in the world held for primarily eight-oared rowing shells.”  It is an awesome two days of competition for high school junior programs, collegiate teams, masters’ clubs, and even an exhibition this year between the US National and Canadian rowing teams.  My team is racing three eights this year…Saturday at 11:48 and 3:24 and, the race I’m coxing, on Sunday at 2:32.  My team has worked so hard this year and has taken their fitness and finesse to a whole new level.  I think it’s going to be an awesome weekend for all of our boats!!  The race starts in the shadow of the Sea World Bayside Skyride , continues past the screaming crowds at the beer tent and jumbotron and ends at the 2000 meter mark of Crown Point Park.  It’s an exhilarating weekend of teamwork, adrenaline, sweat, cheering, and celebrating!

 …and my team has intelligence and has put in the hard work! 

Equipment charged, check…oar toe ring, check…pedicure in team colors with oars, check…

We are soooo ready…let’s do this ladies!
