I’m back from the weekend’s regatta, plus medals, a racerback tan line, and a whole lotta muscle ache, minus sleep, sleep and more sleep.
I don’t speak too much about rowing on this site, since frankly, it’s pretty boring to anyone but rowers. However, for the few people who may be interested/curious, I particpated in a Women’s Quad, Mixed Quad, Women’s 8 and Mixed 8. I’m most proud of our Mixed 8, since the crew was a last minute throw-together, and we actually won the entire event (in a borrowed, very heavy boat no less!). That’ll be good for some bragging rights for a week or so.
As for the bit of news I alluded to before I left, I’m one of the newest members of the Metroblogging Vancouver crew. My first piece is currently up. Pop on over and check it out, and if you’ve got any ideas for other city-centric content you’d like to see me contribute, let me know!
I got accepted to do Metroblogging too, but I’m not sure if I have the time for it. Frankly, I don’t think you have the time either, chicky.
Congrats on all the blue-ribbonage!
Oooh, pretty medals.
I’m all about the metal/medal haul. =P
Nice job on the medals! When I was in rowing, all we ever got was the “Thanks for coming in last place but trying anyway” ribbons.
