No Time Trails this morning due to strong winds, so a few rowers went for a jog along the Ottawa River.
Time Trials will now run tomorrow morning - Friday Sept 2nd. Arrive at the waterfront for 6:00 am as per our usual start time.
With temperatures lower and mornings darker it is time to start thinking about warmer rowing gear. Snug, long sleeve merino wool tops and full length sports leggings are a great option. Layering can be key. Also, you'll need to wear one of these going out on the river any day now...
In addition, the Bower and Post (Vespoli Racing Double) had an overhaul of it's rigging (Thanks Roger, Aileen and Roxanne). The boat is light and moves nicely through the water. It is a great option for lightweight rowers.
Thank-you John and Sherry for running time trials this morning. It was a great experience and the conditions were excellent. Nice that they sent off hot air balloons at the finish line. Have a great weekend everyone.
