We finished Week 1 on a chilly, damp Saturday. You’ll find some pictures and videos from practice taken by Heidi Gioseffi at Justice Rowing Photo/Video Highlights Gallery.

The Week Ahead

  • Tomorrow the forecast winds are ~20mph and if they remain that way we’ll likely switch to in indoor practice at the school. Rowers, watch for text/Twitter updates.
  • Tuesday looks better … temps in the 40s with light winds.  Make sure you have water and extra clothes.
  • Wednesday … not a practice day, but the team picture will be taken in the Main Gym at 3:15.  Given we don’t have new uniforms yet, the captains will discuss what to wear with the team tomorrow.
  • Thursday looks decent, with showers moving in on Friday and Saturday.  Coaches have a mandatory Safety Meeting with the Sandy Run Park management at the Lorton Regional Park at 7:30 pm on Thursday.
  • We will plan to practice on Saturday morning (9 am-noon) for the remainder of the time at Lake Barcroft.

March 16: ALL HANDS

We now have three weeks left at Barcroft and will pack up and head back to Sandy Run on March 16th … all rowers should plan to be there.

March 23: Polar Bear Regatta

Our first competition will be the Polar Bear Regatta on March 23rd … this will be a small regatta and will not include novice events; however, novices should plan to attend to support their teammates and experience how a regatta is run.

March 30: Regional Park Regatta

The first chance for our novice rowers to compete will be the Regional Park Regatta on March 30th.

See you tomorrow …
Coach Mike
