u.s. national team

Well, here we are. It’s fall, and that means it’s head racing season. I’m still pretty new to the whole “sign yourself up for regattas” thing, since I’ve always just been told to show up somewhere and race without having to do any leg work.

The women's eight won their rep and will be moving on to the semi-finals.

The U.S. four winds it up in practice as they prepare for racing this week.

The men's lightweight and heavyweight pairs took to the course in the morning for a couple laps before the rest of the international crew arrived.

The course can get crowded sometimes, so it's nice when you can go for a swing row with other boats on your team. The men's coxed four and straight four take it down their lanes.
