It seems unbelievable that we are already leaving tomorrow. Our first race is in a week - which is slightly good for our piece-of-mind, because we still have a few fine tunings to workout before we race. That said, entries for our event came out yesterday and it seems more real than ever. See the entries here: http://www.worldrowing.com/assets/pdfs/U23WCH_2014/ROMB22000_C32C.pdf
We depart Craftsbury tomorrow around 7 after following an early "silent row." We will fly out of Burlington and have a lay-over in Newark before we head across the ocean to Milan. Coach Steve had us get compression socks to enhance blood-flow in our legs during the flight.
Before we can leave Craftsbury though, we will have a proper Craftsbury goodbye this afternoon with our weekly Head of the Hosmer. The winds are already going in typical fashion for the 2,800 meter piece. It should definitely be an interesting one, as well as a good way to finish up our training here at the center.
Stay tuned for more updates in Varese and especially once we start racing.
Ciao!
