Camp Bob Cooper - Report #2
Wow, very long day for me. Today consisted of three on-the-water practices, each with their own challenges and payoffs. This morning was really exciting because for the first time, I got to row in a varsity boat with varsity people, and the difference was remarkable. When we practice as novice, a lot of our energy and time goes to fixing little fundamental things like keeping the boat level, etc, so when you are in a boat with more experienced people, you get a better, more fluid practice. Definitely a good thing…
Mid-morning practice was a more challenging workout. I got put in a 4 with the three other strongest kids on our team (varsity included), so we were a beastly heavy weight boat. After we go used to each others rhythm, things went very well. We did 4 tricky 15-minute races.
The last workout was a little lame, because it was all novice drills, but I guess those are important to, so I can’t complain. This evening was low key. There was a camp-wide dodgeball tournament, and sure enough, CMU got beat by a group of high school girls, ha ha. Tonight, a bunch of varsity kids buzzed their hair in spring break tradition, so I followed suit. Attached in this post is a picture, yea, I know, I’m sexy, don’t have to tell me!
I should be able to find time to post and update tomorrow. Have a good day sitting on your butt while I’m rowing for hours.
