Kate and I won our heat this morning, which means we're directly on to the semifinals tomorrow. It was awesome to get out there and have our first international race as a double.
One really cool part of the day was that my host family from the past two years of racing in Lucerne came to cheer us on. They're a Swiss couple that wore their United States Rowing supporters shirts today and brought their newborn son, too. They were such great people to stay with and get to know over the past couple years and have been wonderful fans and friends ever since.
Tomorrow we'll be racing at 2:12 pm local time - 8:12 am on the east coast and 5:12 am on the west coast. Top 3 finishers move on to Sunday's A Final and a shot at the medals. Bottom 3 finishers head to the B final.
