WIRA!!!!
I’m in Sacramento right now! Left this morning at 1 am for a ~10 hour bus ride… good thing i can sleep whenever, wherever. When we got to the race course it was a flurry of unloading the trailer, rigging up the boats, and then out onto the water to practice. I didn’t have to hop in a boat immediately, but our lightweight 4 was told to go take a swim. That water is COLD.
After practice, to the hotel, and then all the lightweights (<130 lbs) back to the course to weigh in. I tried out the scale earlier this morning with my track pants on, coming in at 124.5 lbs. In the afternoon, after practice and eating a quiznos sub and a handful of trail mix, I came in at 121.4 lbs. Woohoo! LOL. But then of course I did use the restroom…
I can’t believe that this past week has been a series of “lasts”. We had our last erg workout on Tuesday, our last afternoon workout on Thursday, and our last morning practice on Thursday as well. Weight training has ended as well, and we missed this whole week because traffic was horrible on Tuesday, and then we were stuck at the boathouse derigging and loading up the trailers on Thursday. We stopped off at Rimac to apologize to Mamz. At first we couldn’t find him so we started out a note, but then he found us and we finished scribbling out our note which says ”Dear Mamz, Sorry we are so lame. We love you. W. Novice Crew. *smiley face*”. He pinned it up on his board!!!
Now it’s time to relax before we go dig in for dinner!
