Feels already that we've been here for longer than just three full days! Everything is going well and it is always fun to see all the rowers from other countries arrive as racing approaches. The wind has been impressive, though. Total glass in the morning, but then by around 12pm the wind picks up and for the last three days there have been white caps by 2pm! Above is a picture of the start this afternoon...not white caps yet, but we're still hoping we don't have to start our race in that chop.
For us lightweights, the food is perfect. Lots of fresh salad and fruits! However, we do have to walk by this beautiful chocolate sculpture every time we go to meals. :)
Not much more to report yet! Just keep sending fast thoughts our way as our first race approaches on Friday. 23 boats in our event, and the draw for heats should happen by tomorrow evening, as we prepare to dive into three days of intense racing!
We got a mention in World Rowing News...(LW2x)

I'll post more when racing gets underway!
What I want to know is WHAT is that sculpture in chocolate? It looks like a big ham!
ReplyDeleteIt's a lady..haha maybe I should've made the photo bigger!
ReplyDeleteIf I ate that much chocolate, my bottom half would be that big, too!
ReplyDeleteKeep sending the photos Abby- its the only blue sky we're seeing around here! You will dominate even in the chop- I've seen you blow by me in the rough water often enough! Karen
