Last Regatta of the Season

Last Sunday was out last regatta of the year.

I really don't feel like explaining crew, because I feel like I've done it a thousand times.

     It was in Occoquan, Virginia.  We hade to walk a good ten minutes though the woods to get from the parking lot to the docks.  It was really pretty and that's where I took some shots for my meaning of fall project.  

     Since it's a fall regatta it was a 5K (spring regattas are usually only 1,500 M.)   We got 9th out of 19 boats.  This isn't a great placement, but seeing as we were Varsity B, we weren't  exactly taking practices seriously.  To quote one of my teammates  "We're not on Varsity B because we're like this, we're like this because we're on Varsity B."

We got to race in the Trail Blazer, our best boat.  It sounds crazy, but the feel of the boat is so much different from our other boats, like the Blazing Paddles or the Blitzkrieg.
