Finishing the Season STRONG!


Wow..what a great regatta! Kelowna was our biggest this year, with stiffer competition and earlier races! But even with sleep deprivation, we managed to have the fastest race of the regatta for the women's teams (beating many mixed teams times along the way, too, I might add..) and ended up coming in 3rd overall! So, a bronze medal in the platinum division...a HUGE improvement from last year! And that's all we can ask for..continual improvement. We had built up so much confidence in ourselves, that at first, I think the majority of us were a bit disappointed with the bronze, but it only took a few minutes for us to realize that we still did great and we still would go home with some hardware! So, this season, we got one of each. A gold, silver and bronze..perfectly balanced! So, now we have a goal for next year - beat our times, beat the bronze! So, to all the Warriors this season, I tip my hat to you all and to all of the strength and stamina you brought with you! No one of us is more important than the other (well, if you're steering..maybe..lol) and we all contributed to the success of the season! So, I thank you all!!!
