Rocket Fuel: We Leave Tomorrow

Before our 2nd to last row together in Conshohocken, PA

Our last row in the States is tomorrow morning, then we're off to Bulgaria for the Senior World Championships. Practices have been going great, we're just about packed, outfitted, well-fed and rested and ready to race. It's been a great experience so far, and no one deserves more thanks and praise than my boatmates Sam, Bob, and Shane, and our coaches Craig Hoffman and Ed Bell. Thank you also to all of our supporters, and to my mom and dad.

All systems go.

With the rowing side of things just about taken care of, it's been back to the "grind" of working up the TheBlades hype machine. To view the complete Facebook photo album, click here, and don't forget to "like" us. I mean, after all, Mahé Drysdale does. And he's the Olympic Champion. Congratulations Mahé!

Also a very special thanks go out to my fellow TheBlades, Andrew Neils and Will Allen for sending me a wonderful care package pre-Worlds. I will let the photographs speak for themselves, but I love you guys, and know you'll be there with us in spirit on the line in Bulgaria.

Arrived: the box of USA goodies for you outstanding contributors to our fundraising efforts. It's not too late to support us - we still have new donations every day, personally I have been so impressed and touched by the encouragement and support of our friends and families and coaches and fans. Without you we would not be racing for the USA!

Here is the link, just click and donate if you would like to be a part of our racing, and thank you!
