Hiking

The internet was down yesterday, so here is yesterday's post: 

July 4th, 2013

We had an optional practice this morning, so it was a good opportunity to get more individual coaching on the water. The weather was just a bit chilly, and the water was beautiful. One of the guys has a GoPro camera that we put on our stern. As I was stroking, I now have a huge amount of video of myself rowing. It's mostly too big to post but I might edit some and upload it. 

As stroke, I got to practice my toe steering. We all worked on timing at the catch, getting the blade in before the drive and proper finishes. The boat really started to move fast. 

Afterwards, Dave (program coordinator), Michael (our coach this week) and I went hiking. We trekked for a couple hours on beautiful trails. I've attached some photos. 

Practice again tomorrow morning, looking forward to getting back on the scenic lake.
