Just for the record, no bridges or launches were actually hit. There may have been some holding of water by one side or the other.

Though my hands may disagree, a good time was had by all.

Oh yeah, and I was there, too.

Meanwhile, back in the States...

What's Japanese for "Concept Two"? Not only can they not row, and had to leave their boats in containers, but FISA actually dismantled the race course. Good times.
p.s. Thank you, Master Card.

Also a shout out to coaches Keister and Smith (A).

For those people who do not subscribe to rowing news, aren't rowing dorks, or are have short term memory loss, Sinead Jennings raced at both the 2003 World Rowing Championships and the 2003 World Road Cycling Championships.

Ha--and you thought there wasn't going to be one today. Shows what you know.

Oddly enough, from a technical standpoint, it was actually a pretty good row...

Good times!

I did win at Riverside sprints, once, though. But that's in the spring, so it doesn't count, and that was before the new medals.

Yeah, ok, that's a bit arrogant, but it's been a pretty good year for RBC, and hopefully, the best is yet to come. So, take this as a tribute to all who have raced in RBC colors this summer, and those racing in red, white and blue in a few weeks. And if you still don't like it... Well, then you'll just have to deal.

Now, Mike did weigh in for the pair first, so we would have still been fine for the dash, but a) this makes for a better story and b) it would have made Tapley really mad, since that would have been the second time he couldn't race due to someone not making weight at the regatta.

Since Friday was a day off from racing, I decided it was a day off from drawing, as well.
p.s. Oh yeah, and we won the light eight dash, in case anyone was wondering. :)
