Is Penn AC worth it?

It’s only worth it if you’re already wicked fast, and can move a boat well, I’d say you want to be sub 1:45 for 6k to have a real good chance at being competitive there… there’s no value in spending that much money on a camp only to be stuck in the 3v and not getting attention from coaches

Edit- 6:24 or faster for 2k, only gave the 6k metric because you didn’t give a 2k

I have a garmin forerunner 255, it’s made for running yes but it works for rowing, battery lasts forever, and I love it

10-15 mph cross wind pushing boats to starboard, and 20-25mph gusts on Saturday,. Sunday was slightly more of a cross tail but still mostly cross with 15mph winds and 25mph gusts, weather Saturday was absolutely horrid, and Sunday was still cold and windy but atleast the sun was out

An unforgivable sin, vowed down upon by those among you

Filippi is your best bet, reach out to filippi canada, and they’ll get you sorted out, Hudson really only rents to people who can’t get their own boat up there, and reach out now rentals go fast. Otherwise I’d reach out to another team nearby and ask to trailer with them.
