If you follow me on Instagram then you saw that last week we were seat racing for the four we’re taking to IRAs, which is this coming Friday through Sunday. We’ll be leaving on Thursday (early Thursday) so just a heads up that I’ll most definitely be unreachable by email between Wednesday afternoon (May 27th) and the following Monday (June 1st).

 

Pumped for Sprints this weekend. Wish us luck!

We’re in Philly racing at Dad Vails with the four this weekend. Here’s to fast water and none of the rain they had last year.

Hi everyone! Sorry this is a few days late – I didn’t anticipate the complete lack of cell service when we were in Wisconsin this weekend so uploading Friday’s posts from my phone/iPad ended up not being a possibility. If you ever find yourself in Baraboo, WI and you have AT&T or Sprint, be prepared to be totally cut off from the rest of civilization for the duration of your stay.

Another week, another race. Tomorrow we’ll be racing Bates and Delaware on the Charles, which will be our last home race before we kick off the second half of the season with a trip out to Wisconsin to race Wisco  and Georgetown. I can’t believe we’re already four weeks into the season when it feels like we were just in Florida…

If you haven’t already, check out my YouTube for all the race videos/coxswain recordings from our varsity 8+ over the last few weeks.

This morning we’re heading to New Jersey to race Princeton and Harvard tomorrow for the Compton Cup so I probably won’t be answering any new emails for the rest of the weekend. As always, feel free to follow along on Instagram and don’t forget to check out my YouTube later this weekend for video of the race.

We’re racing WPI, Williams, and Connecticut College on the Charles on Saturday morning – fingers crossed the weather is nothing like it has been the last three days. Good luck to everyone else racing this weekend too!

First race of the season tomorrow against Columbia, Dartmouth, and Holy Cross (despite all odds – it was looking doubtful when we were still completely iced in on Wednesday) and I am so pumped. Good luck to everyone else racing this weekend! Coxswains, if you want feedback on your audio just send me a link to the video or an mp3 and I’ll check it out.

We’re wrapping up our spring break down here in Cocoa Beach and even more so than in January, I am so not ready to go home. This week has been incredibly productive and just a ridiculous amount of fun. If you haven’t been following along already then you can check out some pictures and video from our trip over on my Instagram at @beantownkmd.

First day of spring = snow in Boston. Typical. Perfect timing though because the team is leaving for our (really last minute) spring break training trip to Cocoa Beach tomorrow morning … or as our head coach put it, “getting out of this frozen hell hole for a week”. The snow banks might be getting smaller but the basin is still completely covered in ice which means no rowing for us anytime soon, thus we’re heading to Florida to try and get some water time in since the season technically starts next weekend. I’m fully committed to spending as little time on my laptop as possible during the day so keep that in mind if you email me, send questions on Tumblr, etc. You can keep up with what we’re doing as always though by following me on Instagram.
