Faut Line Face Off (Oakland, CA)

This weekend we will be traveling up to Oakland, CA for the second year in a row to compete in the Fault Line Face Off. The event is hosted by the Oakland Strokes and we are excited to participate in such a well run regatta. At this race we will be able to compete against some of the fastest crews in the region and potentially the country (Marin, Long Beach, Los Gatos, Oakland, Marina) on all levels. The bus ships out at 5:15AM tomorrow morning and we should arrive in Oakland around 2:00PM. There will be a few races for the Novices on Saturday starting at 4:00PM until 6:00PM. The bulk of the racing will be done on Sunday with heats in the earlier part of the morning followed by an "A" and a "B" final so all athletes will participate in at least 2 races. Stay tuned for live updates from the course with videos and pictures.

LB Presidents Day Regatta

The pairs are launching now and will race at 8:00am and 8:10am. I will update with results from the 500m to go marker.

January Update

It has been over a month since my last update but I assure you we are working over-time down here.  A lot of progress has been made since our last race in early December and we are looking forward to an eventful racing schedule.  Fitness levels are increasing and our roster that boasts 20 novices from last year and 10 returning athletes is slowly getting up to speed.

Our first race of the year will be some mixed sculling boats at the Long Beach President's Day Regatta held in Long Beach on February 19th.

Our first large meeting with teams from our region will take place on March 3rd and 4th in Oakland where we will be able to race some of the best programs in the Nation (Marin, Long Beach, Los Gatos, Oakland).

Look for more updates to follow.
