The weekend in review

DRAFT UNFINISHED!

SATURDAY
It was rise and shine around 4am to help Chris get ready for rowing.  he was collected at 4:30 and I snuck back to bed for a last few minutes.

Guilt soon overtook me and I arose, packed my sports bag, made a sandwich and packed it for later.  Rowing was at Coomera.  An hour or so toward the Gold Coast.

I arrived down there around 6:30am but the boys had already unloaded the boats off the trailers and rigged them.  They are a well oiled machine.

At 8am the racing started.  There was a fairly string head wind that made it quite a struggle for the younger crews.  I found my calling videoing the last 250m of each race. 

Chris is stroke of the grade 10 first 4.  They seem to be a good crew and this was confirmed by them winning both their races.  In fact BGS did not do so well.  I think the only races they won were the grade 10 third, second and first eights.

After the rowing was over I drove home and then tidied up the video and I have now uploaded them to youtube for the coaches to look at.
