Rowing

It seems like the whole week I've been home it's just rained everyday, probably because it has. But even though it rained all day, the day was not without excitement. I woke up to finding out that both Ken and Julie had won this morning in Princeton NJ. For Ken this means that he is the USA M1X representative at World Championships in New Zealand. For Julie this meant that she had won one of the finals and the other girl had won the first one and that there would need to be a third final (best of three). But hours later I found out that the other girl had withdrawn (Julie is pretty intimidating) making Julie the winner. All of this also meant that they'd be up in NY today instead of tomorrow and I'd get to spend more time with them both. Ken called me shortly after I woke up and asked me if I would be his coach for Worlds, take care of everything for him so he could just focus on the rowing part. Of course. It means I'll be away from the training group...and unable to talk on the phone with Kate every night, but a trip to New Zealand with my brother isn't something I can pass up. He also told me that I got a gear package which is really exciting because now I have a rain jacket, and I didn't before...all about the little things.
