Nationals

For those rowers and parents going to Nationals in Saratoga Springs, here is some general info:

We are planning on leaving from the Shipley gym on Thursday morning. We will be taking two vans, and we are not sure whether we will be leaving at the same time or slightly different times. We are trying to accomodate some people taking an exam that morning. We should know more specific departure times after tomorrow, but either way it will be somewhere between 9 and 11 AM.

We will plan on arriving in the Albany area early to mid afternoon. We are staying at the Travelodge Inn at 831 New Loudon Road, in Latham, NY 12110. After checking into the hotel, we will be heading over to the race course to unload and rig our boats. The boys will then be going out for a practice row on the course. Unfortunately not all of the girls will be there yet, so I am sure Beth will find something fun for them to do. We will then be going back to the hotel and going out to dinner as a team.

On Friday, the racing will begin. The schedule has not been posted yet. Information on the rowing venue can be found here.

Departures from Saratoga Springs will obviously depend on how well the crews do in their races, but because we have two vans, we have a little more flexibility. Stay tuned for more info...
