Oh, I'm happy

Coach just posted preliminary lineups for San Diego. I'm stroking the B 8+. Sweet. He's got a note that my seat is contestable, but I know I'm faster than the guys I'm up against, and I'm only going to get faster this season. I'd actually love the seat race, to see how I make a difference on the water. I know I move boats.

In other news, my performance this morning put me at 8th fastest on the squad, 5th fastest with the weight adjustment (a few guys who out pulled me also outweigh me by a wide margin). Age adjustment kicks my ass, but dropping my average split just 1 second puts me at 8th place there, too. So I'm feeling good about it. Good to be in the top 8.
