Rowbust was not scheduled to race today...so there are no Rowbust updates.
However, our Sr. B women's crew did get to race their 500m heat and final races in beautiful, calm conditions! A 100% improvement over yesterdays weather. But even with great conditions there were delays at the start line and the race schedule was pushed later in to the day.
Not only were there delays on the start line, there was a delay caused by a boat taking on too much water and sinking just shy of the finish line of their 2km race! And not to worry, thank fully everyone is okay!

Today's delay caused the cancellation of ALL remaining 2km races. So you know what that means....another change to the Rowbust race schedule! (so yeah, I guess there is one Rowbust update) We will only race 200m & 500m race distances on Sunday. It is a disappointment because the 2km is our favourite race. But we also understand the constraints these delays put on the organizers in trying to keep the event fair for all divisions.
Hopefully Sunday goes off without a hitch and I can regale you with the exciting tales of our 200m and 500m races!
Until then...keep your fingers crossed and send all your positive vibes our way for a perfect day!
