Well, Boston didn't exactly turn out as planned. I personally didn't have a great race, and we didn't do as well as we would have liked. It was pouring rain that turned into snow minutes before we went on the water. It was AWFUL! I was in 4 layers (including a jacket) and had 2 pairs of mitts on. I also raced in a neckwarmer. As soon as you got sweaty, it got even colder.
That being said, as soon as I came off the water, I ran for my extra change of clothes...it was gone! I had my whole bag taken (wallet, phone, ipod... and most importantly dry clothes). After a few hours of stressing over that and finally getting out of my wet clothes, I got a phone call that someone had accidentally taken the wrong bag. Phew!
I am now focused on training for the National Rowing Championships (NRC's) which are one week from Tuesday. It's is Nov. 3 and 4th here in London. I am hoping that the weather co-operates with us until after that race, then it can get as cold as it wants! I will be racing in the single(1x) and am hoping that things go well. I have been working lots on my weakest points and have continued to work on my strengths. I am looking forward to just lining up and racing. I think that it will be a very tough race this year, but am hoping for my best (whatever that may be on the day).
As for today, I am deep into the school work and paper writing. Back to it!!!
