Two day till racing

Today we did our first race pieces of the trip. In total we did 3 laps in total. On the second and third laps we did 250m from a dead stop on the final 250m of the course. The first piece was all out in terms of rate and power, while the second was supposed to be a the same as the first 250m of a real 2k. Our pieces were almost identical in time, which is not necessarily a good thing, but the second piece which simulates the 2k more was definitely fast. This was also the first practice without any wind and it turned out to be a really good row overall. I hope the weather stays the same and doesn't become rainy and windy.

While sitting at lunch today we all realized that everyone can understand us while we can't understand them. All the other teams can joke around and talk about whatever they want without anyone else understanding them. It kind of sucks that we don't have some secret way of communicating like Gaelic for the Irish, but whatever I guess if we need to communicate they will undoubtedly understand what we're saying.
