Happy Friday!

A few posts back I mentioned about my injured shoulder and how our 1st race of the season is coming up, well tomorrow is the big day.

Normally the night before a race I’m always trying to be as calm that I can be so I can sleep really well and be on my A game tomorrow. Though I wonder how much sleep I’ll really get tonight as I came home after some running around, sat on the couch and woke up 3 hours later, so now I’m trying to finish getting everything prepped before I had back to bed in a few minutes.

I still recall what my mom mentioned to me before my 1st race, 17 years ago “Harness your nervous butterflies and let them take you to victory”. Ever since then I’ve always reminded myself of that saying and we’ve normally kicked butt.

What do you do with your nervous butterflies?

Have a great saturday

C4AC #4 – Raining Rhinos N Elephants

I do live on a Wet West Coast, I should be use to this wetstuff but lately I’m just getting tired of hearing it and or driving in it. Rather have a few days of sun or cloud or rain but not weeks worth all at once. Because of this rain the drive out to practice was crazy, and I’m sure it mostly had to do with the Canucks being in the playoffs.. Saw at least 3 accidents and someone almost got me because they were tailgating me.. Doesn’t anyone look more then just the car in front of them when they drive?

As I got to practice tonight and started prepping my go pro camera for our steersmen to wear, the weather went from the normal cat and dog saying to a lot heavier and gross (ie rhinos and elephants) so badly that within seconds of stepping out of the car to take pictures/video of the whitecaps, I was soaked from head to toe. Thankfully practice was relocated inside a very warm pub.

I really hope this rain forecast isn’t gonna follow us to every regatta like it did last year.
