Saturday Morning Practice

It has been a while since this blog has been updated. There should be more news and pictures following the Spring Sprints regatta on April 22 and 23. Now we are just over six weeks of training remaining until Spring Sprints.

Headed out to train at 7 am. Had fourteen rowers spread in three quads and a double. The rain cleared out with only a little drizzle, warmer temperatures compared to conditions for Wednesday's training. Some wind gave a tailwind later. Practiced 1k race plan and hoping to win at Green Lake next weekend.

Halloween Costumed Combined Practice

We had some Halloween fun today with North Cascades Crew in a socially distanced, combined practice that included a 3400 meter race. Some rowers from both clubs dressed up in the Halloween spirit. Coach Melissa was dressed as a pirate, complete with sword, flag and first mate (skeleton with parrot), of course. Other costumes included a bumble bee, super hero, duck, reindeer, and king. Thanks go to the volunteers who manned the launches and kept time. Also, thank you Coach Barb for coordinating this extremely fun event! Happy Halloween!

Combined Practice Race Fun

Since we are missing our chance to race at normally scheduled regattas, we decided to have our own racing fun. While following all State and local health guidelines, we set up our own course using established buoys, grabbed our singles and raced approximately 5200m. We invited North Cascades Crew, who also practices on the lake, to join us. We had so much fun with this event, we may do it again!

Summer Singles

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, LSRC is happy to be back on the water, safely in Singles! Our masters were able to begin practice in June following the Phase 2 guidelines of the State of WA and Snohomish County. We are looking forward to Phase 3 and expanding our summer programs!
