Kudos to the San Diego crew for putting on a good race this past weekend. Despite the non-so cal weather, things went quite well. And if they didn't, they adapted (on Saturday, when running an hour behind, they scrapped lunch to move things along. Did that ever happen in Tacoma? Salem?).
Racing in 10-seaters (do I have to call them "Ten Man Boats?" It's so paradoxical to hear "ten man women's boats" throughout the day...) was a true thrill. This is why I participate in the sport: to race. And those races were all-out brawls. The boats respond to each stroke, each pull. Teams gel and build chemistry quicker and easier. They are truly fantastic. So it is understandable why there is a push to make the 10-seaters an Olympic event.
Great job to Wasabi! Some good racing, and, possibly, a way to finish off a tough season on a high note.
