Pre Germany!

This is probably the latest we've stayed up in quite some time. We have around eight hours until we leave for the airport and we are all up and packing, and of course trying on all of our sick new gear. The boats have come together very quickly in the last couple of days so that's a real confidence booster. Although the line-ups are still shifting, we are learning to row comfortably in all positions. We're steadily developing a feel for boats that we've never rowed before and, while there are definitely practices we come in soaked from backsplash, more often than not we end the day on a good note.

Tomorrow is a travel day. It should take us until Friday to get there. While no one is really looking forward to traveling for that long, we are all very anxious to get there and start training for our skirmish with the Germans!
