9-man Sprint races! I had 3 teammates waiting in the water, and I had to steer the boat up to them as 3 jumped out and those 3 climbed in. This was the second as I forgot to start my watch for the first. We took 1st overall in the Novice Women by a margin of 0.3 seconds!

OC1 practice with Luisa. I helped her get out on the water, but then had to push the pace to catch up because my boat was still on the beach! We did some warm-up and some practice with the OC-1, which is still different from the OC-2 and then we did 4x5 minute intervals. I'm curious what a difference a faster boat would make since my average was pretty slow. The OC-1 handles pretty similarly to the surf ski, but with a little more stability on the left.

Sprint turn practice plus 9-man transitions. I jumped out of the boat (easy) and was actually able to get back in while it was moving! Woo hoo! Proud of myself and everyone else who did it (all members). It was actually easier getting in while the boat was moving.

Fun easy ride around Long Beach with Anna and Carlo. We were mostly on the river trail. Conversational pace. Windy - Carlo pulled us most of the way back into the wind. We had one short sprint toward the end.
