World Cup III: Day 2

Post # 141

We won this afternoon's semifinal and posted the fastest time of both semis, so that puts us in the A Final tomorrow. We'll be racing at 11:01 am local time against GBR (Great Britain), NZL (New Zealand), ITA (Italy), GER (Germany), and NED (Netherlands). That's 5:01 am east coast and, for the really diehard fans on the west coast, a lovely 2:01 am for you. The good news? Live video this time. Click here to check it out. 

Team USA has had an awesome regatta so far. It's not a "usual" thing to win a semifinal and today we had three boats do just that: the men's four (M4-), women's single (W1x), and us. Add to that the fact that our men's lightweight pair (LM2-) scored a silver medal today and our women's 8+ won their race for lanes, and that the men's 8+ is gunning for gold in their final tomorrow, and it's pretty awesome. Oh, and the women's quad (W4x) and women's pair (W2-) made their respective finals today, and we also have two women's doubles (W2x) in the A final. We all have a big day tomorrow. Go USA!
