Race Week. . .



Every year I forget how overpowering the double whammy of spring break and the NCRC Invitational is. That's me up above, climbing the mountain of paperwork up to our race this weekend and trying to make sure 17 schools with a total of 95 boats get good, fair, and safe races this Saturday.

Practice is a pleasure; yesterday I hopped on the erg with our athletes and it felt great to challenge myself and immerse in the physical instead of the intellectual. This morning's row was challenging (fatigue, nasty cross-headwind, etc) but there were glimpses of a breakthrough there; I'm looking forward to finding it.

Not much time for reflection on Daffodil; looking forward at the moment.
