Day Two of Camp

I decided that I would do a quick update today while we are having a rest between sessions. We have all been together now for two days and we have had some really good rows and some crap rows!

Yesterday morning we had a not too bad first row back together and we were able to get some good run on the boat, but by the afternoon I think we had all forgotten how to row! Mind you the wind had picked up and we rowed into a very strong headwind! We had to do some race pieces and setting up the boat into the head wind was good but when we turned around to do some other race pieces it all fell apart. We had to put that behind us and think about the next day.

This morning we were all a bit better, more relaxed and more focused. I think we were definitely able to put yesterday behind us. Our session this morning we did 6 one minute race pieces and they were good. We are slowly making those little steps to be able to row much faster.

On an exciting note, we all received our team gear the other day. So it makes it feel a bit more like we are really going! With the new zooties we will certainly stand out...they are very bright. But we will wear the gear with pride.

We are now out for our 2nd session today and hopefully we will be able to carry over the good row from early this morning.
