Back to the Jers.....

Well the the 2012 rowing training trip has come to an end. All in all, it was a pretty good week. The weather was awesome, only 2 legit injuries (Coach broke his foot and the aforementioned shoulder dislocation) and no one got arrested while painting bridges. Apparently there is a tradition while in Tampa, that each senior class paints the bridges, and Princeton is not the only school who does this. The walls under bridges all through Tampa have artistic evidence of rowing teams who come here for winter training, look closely at this picture theres even a Michigan State one!!

Its pretty cool actually to see the years of rowing trips documented this way. This artistic endeavor requires some plausible deniability by the adults in charge, some covert ops and a lot of orange and black paint.

It was a good trip, but now we must head back to New Jersey. Great video of the trip here by Doug our videographer.

First rowing races are in March and rugby is picking back up again. Next adventure takes us to Ireland in March for the men's rugby spring break trip, which will I'm sure be the definition of adventure :)
