My club got the entry via lottery and the lineup wasn't decided upon until pretty late so we only had about 3 weeks together to get ready. We were in the Club 4+ and it was competitive. Competitive as in powerhouse college crews, former national team members, teams from "across the pond", etc. Anyway, we came in 40th out of 55. Not great numbers but we were happy with our performance considering the minimal prep time, the level of competition and our rookie nerves. We beat 15 boats. At an international competition. That's nothing to cry about. If we do it again, we'll know what to expect and I imagine we'll pick up the training a bit. A good starting point was established and much fun was had.
And Saturday night involved quite a bit of drinking. Something we are well trained in. There was even some karaoke. Embarrassing.
So there you go. Head Of The Charles. See you next year, Boston. Hopefully on the water rather than shore.
Oh, and I saw two things that I liked:
First, this awesome billboard ... when do you ever see anything defending animal testing? Never. Plus leprosy is always funny:
Next, an apartment building I someday wish to reside in. So delicious!:
Mmmmmm, chambers ...
