So, the amazing thing about testing is that it showed us just how fit our team is, and it is SUCH a strong place to start from. But the even more amazing thing is the focus on the water and the really great technical place we are starting from. The rowers are really making huge strides with every stroke and the coxswains (always invaluable on the craziness that is the Charles River) are nailing their turns and leading their crews very well.
We (the coaches) just keep thinking..."is this for real?"...(in a good way:)
We are starting to sort out lineups - preliminarily based on testing results and as we move through the next week and a half, we will be making some changes based on technique and seat racing.
We did "pieces" this morning and EVERY boat did a great job...they did THEIR job!
More later!!!
