Championship Week: Stotesbury Cup Regatta & Philadelphia City Championships

Championship week is upon us and with it lots of excitement and lots of nerves. As we touched on late last week, we have begun to decrease the volume of work we are doing at practice, while increasing the intensity of our efforts.

Think of it as if you're finishing up a painting that you started in January. You've done the lion share of the work, now it's time to edit and fine tune your creation into it's strongest final form. Your training is no different. Since January you've been strengthening your bodies, increasing your fitness, and training your focus. The time for work is done, and has been done well.

As we move into the refining process be proud of the blood, sweat, and tears you've endure this season and be eager and excited to show off all the fruits of your labor. Take pride it what you've created by remaining focused and optimistic both on and off the water this week.

The practice schedule for the week is as follows:

Monday-Thursday: 5:30pm-7:30pm
Friday: Stotesbury Cup (off for crews not racing at Stotes)
Saturday: Stotesbury Cup (practice @ 7:30am for crews not racing  at Stotes)
Sunday: City Championships
Monday: Off

There are no excused absences this week. If it's not already on the conflict sheet you are expected to be at practice. An unexcused absence may result in your removal from your race line up. No exceptions.
