San Diego Crew Classic 2022
I was the out-of-town guest coxswain and did not know any of the rowers before we started getting prepared for the race, and I was honored my old coach reached out. I had an amazing Crew Classic experience (my first time racing here!) with a local team. Would love to bring my team to the…

My First Head of the Charles
For this HOCR evaluation, I decided to break down the course into sections and reflect on each section because it was such a steering-focused regatta. If you want to check out my other evaluations, you can read the HOA 2016 one here, HOP 2018 one here, and Gold Rush one 2019 here. As much as…

Coxing Learn-To-Row
I love love love coxing learn-to-row sessions. It’s a fantastic opportunity to review fundamentals because coaches will explain them thoroughly. I encourage rowers that want to learn how to cox to volunteer at learn-to-row sessions because the coach will be right next them the whole time. I enjoy watching new rowers develop as better rowers…

Head of the American
I definitely wanted to do a short self-evaluation before my memories from the race slowly disappear from my brain. I seem to have some short-term memory issues lately. This race will always remain special in my heart as it was my first official coxing event. Our Novice 4+ came in first on raw time and…
