About ten days ago my rowing partner Andy and I put our pair (two-person racing shell) on top of his truck and drove to Lake Natoma, near Sacramento, CA, to race at perhaps the best rowing course in the country. Our goal was to practice on a real race course marked with buoys (we have no lanes here in Oregon) and to compete against the Sacramento State Crew. This would be our first race against college kids and we were extremely nervous. Sac State is a Division II college program -- not as fast as Yale or UC Berkeley, let alone the Olympic team, but they are fast and young.
