Just this morning I realized we were almost at the end of our THIRD WEEK!!! So crazy to think about the fact that less than three weeks ago I was walking up to the boathouse early Monday morning with my fingers crossed hoping we would have enough people show up. Luckily we have a good group of kids (hopefully a core group will stick with it!) who are all showing a lot of promise and continue to arrive at the marina bleary eyed in the pitch black at 5am. I've been trying not to scare them too much with our serial killer/killer clown stories from last spring (kept it to one so far), but didn't do so well when one of our alumni, Jackie McNeely (pictured above), decided to hide in the boathouse last week and jump out at me. I can admit, I haven't screamed that loudly in a while!
Practice ends for the week tomorrow with a tradition I am trying to keep up, Friday Fun Day! Hopefully the athletes get a workout in while doing something other than rowing, erging and running. For the past two weeks we played ultimate frisbee, tomorrow will be volleyball. Should be interesting to see the hand eye coordination!
Please keep checking back with us for future updates!
