Rowing in Detroit

As you can see below, I'm still rowing here in Detroit. At 7am this morning the water was choppier than what I was used to ... but they tell me that during the week at 5am it's very nice :) I'll tell you on Monday whether or not that's true. I also met two Germans (what are the chances!) at the boat house, and we'll probably be rowing together in a four or quad. We should call it "Das Boot". 

The boat house is on an island in the Detroit river ... Detroit is cut off in the top left of the image. When we row around the island, we'll be rowing along the US-Canada border. Just have to watch out for some LARGE boats there.

This Summer's Races

Thought I'd relist the summer's races to remind and encourage any team mates who haven't decided about them yet. The 4 "sprint" races that EMM is perticipating in are: Midwest Master's in Columbus (6/7/08), Charm City Regatta in Baltimore (6/21/08), Heinz Challenge here in Pittburgh (7/12/08) and Quaker City Regatta in Philadelphia (8/4/08). Please email me regarding your participation in these races ASAP. The Columbus race is most important because Rick would like to get lineups to us so we can practice with the same lineups.

last GPS track for a while

Here is Saturday's GPS track of the skeg-less Porter. 9978 meters.

As many of you already know, I'm in Detroit for an internship this summer. I'm planning on rowing here with a masters team, and I'll come race with you in Columbus. In time for Quaker City in August I'll be back again.
