Four Weeks Left Until The International Race

To maximize our chances in winning the Treasure Island race, David gave all of us on the competitive team some homework to do for the remaining 4 weeks. This includes working on our endurance because the races are usually 500 meters and we need all the energy we can get to power through the exhausting race pieces. Also, for the bigger guys sitting near the middle of the boat, reducing your weight by 1 pound a week is a must. All your extra weight reduces our speed and uses up the energy of the rest of the team. And one last major homework assignment is to work on timing. This means in your free time, visualize yourself in the boat and stroking. Imagine keeping in time with the person in front of you and how would you do that. Would that include shortening your strokes, paying more attention inside the boat, or anything else you need work on? It is your individual job to do this so that the team can better itself over the course of the next 4 weeks.
