Deep Water Bay Race May 3, 2009

We also had our 2nd race of the season this past weekend. It was the first year our team had entered the Deep Water Bay race. It is a 500 meter race versus the 270 meter races we train for. Everyone was very nervous about the distance. We hadn't even done a 500 meter race simulation in practice yet. We were expecting the worst, but ended up holding our own. We placed 5 of 6 in the first two heats. Then placed 2nd in the "losers" bracket. This felt like a triumphant victory given the circumstances. What an amazing group of women!

Check out the great video one of the husbands took. We are the yellow team. I'm 3rd back on the right hand side and have pigtail braids :)

wow! Maggie so impressive! Looks like it would kill me, but probably a ton of fun too. You close with any of your teammates?
