The Day Before
Practice Row Day 2 went well this morning! The storm last night blew in some chilly weather and precipitation. It dropped down to 6-8 C this morning. There was a cross/head wind for the morning row, and it was gusting both directions. It almost feels like we are in the mountains with an un-predictable wind direction. I feel, however, the small width of this body of water there is little chance of a cross wind producing any waves of concern. There is just over 6 lanes on this canal and it is arrow-straight.
The rest of the competitors arrive today to get in a practice row. The rowing location has a feeling of excitement building and I like it. Another day of hanging out and then the racing heats start tomorrow. See the racing order here.
