We finally got on the water and did two laps on the course. The lake is beautiful and the course is well done. There was a crosswind today and after the 750 meter mark there appeared to be a slight potential for waves flowing parallel to the course.
Most of our practice was composed of adjusting foot stretchers and oar lock heights to make the boat fit us just right. We also threw in a few high strokes and finished out the practice with a 20 at 40 strokes per minute.
This afternoon we get on the bus to the course at 4 p.m. and hope to spend more time actually rowing than fiddling with the boat. After practice Coach Steve is stopping by a grocery store to get our favorite pre-race and post-race foods. Fingers crossed that they have blueberries.
