Post #26
Coromandel, New Zealand - In case you missed the news, my lightweight quad won silver at the World Championships on Saturday!! It was a great race. The Germans were quick off the line and as much as we tried to run them down, they kept their bow ball ahead to win the gold medal. They were quite a talented crew, with two of those four girls winning silver in the lightweight double the day before and one of them winning gold in the lightweight single the next day. Hats off to them for a fantastic regatta!
A whole bunch of photos can be found HERE, but I've put a couple of my favorites below. All of them are courtesy of row2k - thanks!
The fierce stern pair (Ursula and Abby) in the final strokes of the race
Bow pair (Victoria and me). China and Germany are trying to get ahead of us in the background. I'm thinking "Where is that finish line!!?"
