Spring Cleaning

It’s May, and BCR is on the water!

We had two eights and a quad circling the reservoir for Sunday morning practice on May 1. Coach Vee emphasized early arm and blade preparation, with lots of rowing by 6s in the eights, or by 3s in the quad. Conditions were good — cool but not cold, some wind but no real chop.

Okay, maybe we’re not quite ready to try rowing square blades at race pace yet … but it’s early days for the 2022 season. A couple of weeks devoted to spring cleaning for the rowing stroke and the BCR boats will be ready for bigger and better things.

In addition to the BCR boats there were a good number of CU crews on the water, and CJC headed out for their practice right after the conclusion of the BCR row.

If you’ve been waiting to return to on-water practices consider this your call for hands on … it’s time for a row!
