Covered Bridge Regatta (also known as bitch bitch moan moan)
Yesterday, at 5 am, I got on a bus for Lake Dexter, Oregon. We had a seven hour drive, got there about noon. The second I got off the bus, my boat went for a warm up run while my teammates rigged my four. We got back from the run and launched our boat, which had never rowed together before, of course. Ali was stroke, I was three, this novice B boat girl Cas was two, and a lightweight named Elana was bow. Not the most ideal boat. We race. It hurts. We get off the water, and almost immediately get back on the water for the Novice eight. This is the boat I've been really working for, and we placed first. Awesome! Got off the water, derigged, loaded the trailer, got back on the bus, and drove home. Got home right before midnight. I just did an out of state regatta in less than 19 hours. Oh, and did I mention I might have bronchitis? I am SO TIRED.
