Go Canada Go!!!

Scott and Dave did it! They got Canada's first medal by 10 minutes haha. I'm so excited for those guys - they really deserve it. Today's going to be a big day for our rowers, and those guys just set the bar really high! Today we have the Lightweight women's double, Lightweight men's pair, Heavyweight women's eight, and Heavyweight men's eight. It's a big day for rowing, and their's going to be lots of medal opportunities.

As for our race yesterday, it was probably the best one this year. Mind you the only times we've gotten to race has been here at the Olympics ;) . We changed our combination with Anna Marie stroking and it was definitately faster, but it was too little too late. We just ran out of time.

Anyway, I have to say I still have the rowing bug. The highs are extemely addictive, and I'm not sure I want to end my rowing career without a chance at an Olympic medal. Carsten is going to have the whole next quadrennial to develop the Canadian sculling program. If he brought us this far in just two year, I'm excited to see what he can do with four. I'm going to keep in touch with rowing while I finish school and see what happens. No pressure...
