Elk Lake 2012 Regatta Report: Day One

The wind started with a moderate cross-tail and built into white-caps over 20 mph by the late morning. Afternoon races were cancelled, including finals for all of the single scull events. But the heats went well. Lindsay was first in her heat, Helen and Michelle finished second and third in the other heat. Emily won here heat, and Liz finished third in hers for the light singles. Corrina and Sarah Wolf finished last in their heats. Aidan was second in the light single. Chris and Sam finished third and fourth respectively in one heat, Dave finished second in his heat, and Jon and I finished second and third respectively (posting the second and third fastest times of the day as well) in the open single. Alas, no races for us for the rest of the day.

Tomorrow we move into team boat racing. The Canadian National Team has packed the events - the A-finals for the men's singles would have been a blend of SRC and Canadian National Team boats. I look forward to bringing the heat tomorrow. The foul water give me a strong advantage over others. I am excited to give our lightweight double with David Smith its first go-around. It is sure to be a barn-burner.
