Suns out, Guns out! Or as Patty Suquilanda ‘13 has claimed the "Chubbies Shorts" motto, Skies out, Thighs out!
This past Saturday, Tess Ruderman ’13 and Ali Pierson ’13 broke out some practice unis for our first dam to dam of the spring season. With four eights, we headed down to the basin to get in our workout and more importantly, get our bagels and other snacks before we headed home.
(Ironically, I’m writing this during an afternoon thunderstorm. Oh, New England springs…)
After rowing in the darkness of the early mornings all week, it was nice to feel the sun and to see other crews out and about. Since we just got back from Spring Break where we were used to a nice wide river all to ourselves, the Charles seems a little crowded and narrow – but we lovingly call it home!
Practices have been going well this week and there has been a lot of focus in all of the boats. Lineups are being set for this weekend and I know everyone is super pumped to head to upstate New York. None of us have raced (collegiately at least) in Saratoga so it is going to be a new body of water for most of us! We are really excited to race against two of the top crews in the nation and to see what kind of speed we have so early on in the season.
Also, a quick shout out to Meg Roberts ‘16, Miss Chestertown 2013! She killed it with her crazy outfit and ukulele version of the “Inches” video.
Dream fast!
