Practice 14: Last Day & Dinner Celebration!
We made it to our last day of practice! All 8 girls got onto the boat and got ready for their last day of rowing before the regatta! Everyone was all smiles!
It was a perfect day to row and we did an awesome job staying together and letting Cynthia take over the commands!
We sat in our official racing positions- Tatiana, Meiling, Javiera, Gena, Rosemary, Bianca, and Sarah.
Our rhythm was right on and when we got out of synch, we were able to find it again and jump right in. We sure have learned a ton this season and feel well prepare to conquer the day tomorrow!
Finishing up our final practice at Gentle Giant. Here we are bringing it in to the dock!
We surprised Kyle with a thank you card. I think he was touched. We'll miss you Kyle!
After cleaning up after practice, we went to Olive Garden to eat lots of pasta and celebrate all our accomplishments so far this season! Everyone got balloons, roses, an award, and lots of good food!
It was fun having some time to talk and laugh together before the big day tomorrow!
Here we are, posing outside the restaurant. We are nervous and excited for tomorrow's race but know that we are ready and we have learned so much- not just about rowing but about what it means to be a team and overcome challenges and still succeed. You girls are all the best and Caiti and I can't wait to see you put it all out there tomorrow!
