Precious Medals

Race weekend again...This time with a new team. Seriously, a brand new recreational women's team under an established club, but 7 out of 20 had never raced on these boats before and we'd only been together as a team for a little over a week. We're so new that we took a spot in the mixed division because it was too late to switch to the women's only.

We went in with these goals:
1. run the best races we can and beat our own times
2. see how those times match up with the women's division
3. bond

How'd we do?
1. Our times were 2:21, 2:18, 2:16, and 2:18
2. We would have won the lower women's division hands down and would have been 5th in the top women's division
2.5 WE TOOK THIRD in the lower mixed division (beating teams with 10 men!)
3. We all left the day saying "I love you, man!" and meaning it!

Besides the hardware, coach came through with his promise of cool t-shirts and beer.
Talk about a great weekend!

Chicks Rule!
