This weekend we raced is Ypsilanti, Michigan in the MACRA Championships and for the women's team, this is was our last time on a 2,000m buoyed course until the Dad Vail Regatta in two weeks. The weather was dreary but the rain held out thankfully and the wind stayed minimal. And if you're a seasoned rower you know that a regatta, races rarely run on time, and sometimes you have to wait behind the starting blocks for upwards of 20 minutes. This past weekend, races reached a delay of an 1.5 hours and the slow process up at the start had some boats waiting 40 minutes up by the start.
Despite the delays, the women's team was able to race and all boats advanced to either the grand or petite finals. The Mercyhurst women were able to take home two medals this past weekend and are ready to compete for more as the season starts to come to a close.
