Virginia Boat Club Sprints Regatta at Robious Landing
June 10, 2017
For those of you who are not familiar with this sprint (or master’s sprints in general), here are a couple things to know:
* The official page is: http://www.rockettslandingsprints.com
* The registration page is: https://www.regattacentral.com/regatta/?job_id=5037
* The event is June 10th at Robious Landing Park.
* The club covers the cost of hauling all of the equipment to the regatta. Crews will be responsible to cover their own registration fees.
* There is ample viewing area (our club sets up a tent or two along the water).
* The sprints are 1km (about a 4 minute row). You’ve all done coached pieces longer than this, so 1km will be no problem at all!
* All skill levels are welcome!
* There are usually a couple merchandise vendors with all sorts of great gear and accessories.
* More importantly, there is usually a gourmet popsicle vendor there. Yes, gourmet popsicles! You heard that right. You won’t be disappointed.
* In general, it’s a fun, relaxed day! When not rowing, we hang out under the tents to watch the other races and eat popsicles.
