Update - Second to Last Day in USA

Malta blades alongside USA blades

This morning was our second-to-last morning session in the US before leaving for the World Championships in Korea this Sunday.  It was very good, our best row yet.  3x10', 4'3'2'1' SR24, 28, 32, 36.  Really fun.  It's been a hectic week wrangling the logistics every day but a pleasure as everything is coming together.  Boat, oars, painted oars, gear, flights, travel tips, work schedules, donations, Malta Boat Club support, congratulations, calls and well-wishes from family and friends, and really, really solid rowing on the Schuylkill.  Thank you to Andy and Undine for hosting us as their guests at the monthly dinner yesterday evening.  It was a pleasure and we felt very welcome and deliciously well-fed!  What a great club - Andy is the consummate ambassador.  Everyone was warm and sharing in the excitement of having a Philadelphia club crew going to Worlds.

Also - our gear from JL Racing has arrived! Pics from that soon - thank you SO SO much to JL Racing and JL Racing Philadelphia for working with us on that, equipping us with the swag we need to perform our best.
