More teams are arriving and the weather is cooler after thunderstorms last night. Also, the haze has cleared showing us the Alps on the lake. It is truly awesome. Heat sheets come out soon then racing begins. Wish us luck.
This blog follows the progress and training of the 2014 U23 Double, competing at the U23 World Championships in Varese, Italy.

Monday round one
This morning we did a starting 1250m with the light 2x and the women's 4x. The piece went pretty well, it definitely was good to take some more hard strokes at pace in the new boat. To finish the workout we did a last 500 with the light 2x. Things are feeling better in the boat as we are ironing out the last of the rigging. This afternoon we are going to try lengthening out our oars a little to see if we can get some more mechanical advantage without loosing the feel we have in the boat, or having to lower the rate.
