i only post about the schedule

I updated it again. Click to the right to re-safe your old version.
Next week is a big week. Time to step it up.
Next Friday is a possible AM row - we'll have to discuss that.
Also, I have to be out of town September 18 (Sunday) but can row on September 15th (Friday) if we wanted to switch those practices. We'll have to discuss that also.

Marion, NC is really in the middle of no-where. But this hotel has a nice workout room and a nice hot-tub - things look brand new. Next trip is to Newport News, VA. Hopefully near the beach! If only...
See ya's Friday night at 5:30. Get better Cassi, but don't push it!

ugh...

i am sore. body circuits suck.



This picture has nothing to do with pirates...but it is cute.
The schedule link to the right is updated with the changes we made last night at practice. Appropriate birthdays and parties have been added. All practices are now at 5:30 to avoid traffic. Open it up, save it over the older version of the schedule, and check out this and next week to make sure all is good.

wednesday


theresa (to the left) is willing to cox us on wednesday night of next week if we want to row a four. i'm still waiting on the other cox to write back. do we have two pairs yet if we can't get anyone?

i wanted to put this picture of theresa so you could see that she is a MEDAL WINNER. she is also small. both good qualities of a coxswain.

(ok... actually, i was just playing with this new photo upload tool in blogger.)

HOTEL

Ok ladies - thank Christen for the AWESOME deal we got on our hotel reservation. Here is the info:

HYATT REGENCY BOSTON - Financial District
One Ave de Lafayette
Boston, MA 02111
map

NOTES:
- 1 block from T stop on red line (which means straight shot to river, no changing trains)
- 0.1 mile from H&M
- across from Boston Commons (i know for a fact there is a starbucks right there too!)

ITINERARY DETAILS:
- 2 rooms with 2 double beds each
- 3 nights (friday, saturday, sunday - mean arrive friday morning, drop off bags, go to race site , practice, leave monday morning)
- AAA membership reservations (Christen & Jenny need to bring their AAA cards)
- reservations on Cassi's credit card (can cancel up to 24 hours before day)
- total price: $1257 (divide by 7 people and it's $180 each for all 3 nights)
- (note: christen & cassi may have to leave sunday night so we will redo the costs per person if that is the case and maybe drop a room that last night)

I think it sounds pretty damn good.
