After a long week of midterms, seat racing, swing rows, more midterms, and a “Playdate on the Charles” (and by playdate we mean two by Head of the Charles) Blue Crew parted ways to enjoy a much deserved fall break. While some returned home, others ventured into the wilderness for two days of camping, a few studious individuals stayed on campus, and the coolest kids of all (aka the sophomores who didn’t have plans before Thursday) went apple picking. While apple picking doesn’t have a lot to do with crew, we used it as an opportunity to debut our vertical jumps. In addition to practicing for this key element of our testing regime, we picked delicious apples for a pie-- and by a pie, we mean three pies.
The entire team is looking forward to our short and sweet fall racing season. Our first race this Saturday will be the debut for our novices at the Snake Regatta, the following weekend is Head of the Charles, and finally on the 29th the season culminates with Seven Sisters Championship. We’ve been making progress in our ever changing lineups, and are looking forward to facing some other DIII programs in the next three weeks.
