Excitement.

This best describes the last week in the states, our second-to-last week before the start of the World Championships in Chungju, South Korea.  Tomorrow morning the five of us, Andy, Colin, myself, Shane, and Coach Mac, fly from Philadelphia to Korea.  Thank you for your help, those of you who have donated to our boat so far, we still have a ways to go but the end is in sight. http://natrowing.donorpages.com/SeniorNationalTeam2013/LtwtMensQuad2013/ is the link, for those wishing to make a big difference in helping us go fast - for you.

Everything is set.  We look forward to the experience - but we are there with one job to do, only.  We look forward to this challenge with calm and readiness.

That job is to row hard, and row well, against the best in the world.

Let's Go.
