We spent all season and most of winter training hard and it all paid off, even those 5am sessions when it was still dark.
We entered every carnival and had a lot of fun. We were the first female crew for Trigg Island SLSC for 14 years-and we had two!
I did not qualify to compete in the Masters competition, unfortunately I was not old enough, but one team managed to come home with a bronze medal.
On Saturday we went out in slightly bigger, but clean conditions for our warm up. Then when we were on the line ready to go the sea breeze kicked up and made the ocean a bit of a mess. This made rowing long and hard.
The conditions got worse as the day progressed and we only got two races instead of three. Some other events for that day didn't wrap up until 5pm!
On Sunday due to different circumstances my team wasn't going to race. I went down anyway to show my support and they ended up needing me to jump in.
Our first race was tough but we ended up catching a nice wave back in, which ended up filling the boat with water and we rowed across the finish line waist deep.
It was also nice that our club won the triple crown, this means we won Masters, Junior and Senior States! It was a great season and I look forward to coming back to it.
