Hi Crew,
We will talk more about the race on Saturday today at practice but here is an overview.
First off, here are directions to the boathouse/Oak Park:
(you can Google "Oak Park, Portland" for a map)
Merge onto I-5 S toward TUMWATER/PORTLAND (Crossing into OREGON).
Take EXIT 299A toward OR-43/LAKE OSWEGO
Stay STRAIGHT to go onto SW HOOD AVE/OR-43 S.
Keep RIGHT at the fork to go on OR-43 S.
Turn SLIGHT LEFT onto SELLWOOD BRIDGE.
SELLWOOD BRIDGE becomes SE TACOMA ST.
Turn LEFT onto SE 6TH AVE.
Turn LEFT onto SE SPOKANE ST.
Turn RIGHT onto SE OAKS PARK WAY.
The coaches and cox meeting is at 7:30AM. EVERYONE needs to be at the course before 7:00 to rig boats. The first race goes off the line at 8:30 and it takes at least half an hour to get to the start line so we will be launching around 8:00. Which means that when the coach and cox meeting is done the equipment needs to be ready and all rowers need to be ready to launch.
It looks like the weather will be less pleasant (rain) as the day wears on so dress appropriately. Bring an extra change of dry clothes including several pairs of socks. Each rower will only be racing once. Make sure you rest well and stay hydrated today and tomorrow. Remember: what you eat tonight is more important than what you eat Saturday morning.
If anyone has any question let PJ or I know!!
Pleas pass this info on to your parents.
Thanks,
Liz and PJ

What is the address of the regatta? so that I can mapquest it to see the estimated time to get there
Allow at the very least two hours but I am giving myself 2 and a half to be safe. I don't know the mailing address but if you google "Oak Park, Portland Oregon" it should come up.
