This weekend, May 27-29 is the "Development Regatta" for Selections to the various rowing teams that represent Canada in the summer regattas. Under 23 (U23) team will be selected for a regatta in July in Europe. For me, I'm vie-ing for a spot on the Pan-Am team heading down to Guadalajara, Mexico in October. It will be a long shot but I will put it all on the line.
This Welland Canal is an arrow-straight body of water on a dis-used portion of the famous Canal that connects Lake Lake Erie to Lake Ontario. First built in 1829 after 5 years of hard back-breaking labour before excavators and dump trucks. The potion of the canal that is now used for recreation was re-routed in 1973 due to the large ships needing even larger bridges(or tunnels) for vehicle traffic.
Schedule for this weekend is:
Friday, May 27th: Practice 12-5pm
Sat. May 28th: Time Trial 8-11am, Semifinals 3-5pm
Sunday May 29th Finals 9am-12pm
