Last weekend before Head of the Charles. If you wanna do some last minute prep, check out these posts:
HOCR: Getting to the starting line
HOCR: Steering through the bridges
HOCR: Landmarks along the course
HOCR: Steering around the turns
HOCR: Yaz Farooq’s coxswain clinic
HOCR: The course in meters (roughly)
HOCR: Weeks, Lowell House, and “The Turning Tree” (video included)
Taking the Weeks turn with a new fin on the Empacher (video included)
Next week’s gonna be pretty chaotic so if you’ve got any HOCR-related questions, ask them before Tuesday because I’ll be off the blog from then until at least the following Monday. Good luck!
Oh, and if you’re coming into town and don’t want to deal with cabs (trust me, you don’t) or the T (again, trust me, you don’t) and you still haven’t signed up for Uber yet, you can get a free first ride (up to $20) if you sign up here.
