2003 HEAD OF THE CHARLES


Approximately 1 p.m. on October 18, 2003, I launched for my first Head of the Charles
These first racing pictures are from Magazine Beach, which is about 1/2 mile into the 3 mile race. I was fortunate to have the Michigan men and women's varsity 8s and parents cheering loudly as I came around this curve. (Thanks to Barb Brown for the pictures)
Approaching the Weeks Bridge I was in a little battle with Stephen Arthur-Wong (US National Team). It was great to hear family, friends and former teammates drown out the "U-S-A" chants with "Let's Go Blue"
Its a long row back, including an opportunity to smile for a picture from dad as I passed under the bridge
...well, not so long that the sun went down, but this was too cool of a picture to leave out
