I got a massage, went prom dress shopping, raced, and worked as a dockhand in training.
Rowing
Distance: 1500m
Time: 6:55.5
Average Split: 2:18.5/ 500m
Stroke Rate: 36 spm
Performance Note: Race! Came in 2nd to Berwick
Supplemental
Massage! It was super helpful in loosening up my back, which was crazyyyyy tight.
I also stretched quite a bit.
📝 Reflections
Mental State: Exhausting, and the water wasn't too cold, until I stood in it for a long while
Obstacles: I didn't eat immediately after racing, which was challenging
Lesson learned: Warmer socks, and prioritize eating over being overly helpful
🥞Nutrition
I could definitely get more protein, but I think I fueled myself appropriately.

📚Additional work
I went prom dress shopping, which was good, that didn't take too long.
I helped out the other teams with launching/landing, as well as setting up/cleaning up the tent and food
🌄Looking ahead
The rest of the team is off tomorrow, but I'm planning on going out one-on-one with the coach
