Green Racing Project

Just twelve days ago, the men and women of the Green Racing Project were finishing up a Super Compensation phase of training in the lead up to Olympic Trials I in Inverness, Florida – and then the dominoes started to fall. As the reality of the affects of COVID-19 started to set-in, it became clear to USRowing that it would not be socially responsible to hold Olympic Trials in the months of March and April. This was the first “phase” of postponement for our Summer Olympic hopefuls, with other phases following rapidly each day after. Within a span of three days FISA, the governing body of World ..read more

Hallie here, writing from the “Family Club” or “Y” at the Biathlon World Cup in Ruhpolding, Germany (that’s where this post originate, but it took a few days to finish). On January 6 and 7, USBA held two trials races in Arber, Germany to determine the IBU Cup and World Cup teams for the upcoming race weekends. Jake, Emily, another teammate Paul, and I were the top two men and women in the races, so after the races wrapped up, we got in the van for a fairly long ride to Oberhof, Germany. Four hours and one “American burger” stop later, we made it to Oberhof. Oberhof is notorious for its incl ..read more

Canadian Henley Day 6

Finals day!! It certainly has been a long week here up in St. Catharines, and today was the culminating day! The morning at the cottage was full of anxious but fun energy. Everyone woke up and trickled in and out of the common room, made breakfast, caffeinated, etc. and then one by one were shuttled to the course for our races. The first to go were the U23 men, Jack and Nathan. They raced in the final of the Champ M2- and took third, which was pretty darn impressive seeing as how they had only rowed that boat together about four times (including racing)! Next up was Rhiannon in the U23 Wo ..read more

Today was a WILD day. There were a total of 14 Craftsbury Boats that raced today. We kicked the morning off with Andy and Nathan racing in the M1x 500m Dash. Both raced hard, but neither qualified to move on to the next round. That, however, did not keep them down for long as Nathan went on to qualify the Champ M2- with Jack for tomorrow’s final! And Andy went on to qualify for the final in the Men’s Champ 1x. Mark also qualified to for tomorrow’s final in the same event!  The morning didn’t stop there! As all three women advanced from our heats onto tomorrow’s Champ 1x final! Taylor and ..read more

Today was finally a day off…. for some of us! Contrarily, it was a marathon for Mackenzie and Rhiannon. Due to yesterday’s weather, their semifinal for their double was pushed to 8am this morning. Luckily they advanced easily out of that race, but then had to turn around and race in the heats for the U23 singles (again, both advanced easily), but the cherry on top of their long day was getting to race in the final of the U23 W2x. They put together a solid piece in what must have been a very exhausting circumstance, and took third in the event! It was pretty awesome to see! Bridget was the onl ..read more

Day three was a real roller coaster! We woke up to a beautiful sunny morning at the cottages and racing got underway as scheduled this morning. Jack, Nathan and Mark went to the course for a quick practice session and I headed to town for a coffee date with Taylor. Just as we were walking into the coffee shop, the black clouds rolled in and an hour’s worth of storms struck the little town of St. Catharines. Racing was delayed about 90 minutes before they picked it back up again.  Most of us hung at the cottages this afternoon, waiting for word on whether or not the afternoon storms that we ..read more

Our day started with a lovely sleep-in as all of our races were in the afternoon. We took advantage of our morning off by restocking our food supplies at the local Canadian Superstore. We divided and conquered the store and were in and out of there in record time! Mackenzie and Rhiannon kicked off racing for the squad and cruised to a second place finish and a bid into tomorrow’s semis. Then Taylor, Bridget and I were able to secure three spots into tomorrow’s final. And Andy was the cherry on top of the afternoon as he won his semifinal and made us 4/4 Cedar Leaves in tomorrow’s Senior 1 ..read more

Racing is officially underway at Royal Canadian Henley! Our morning started very early as Bridget, Taylor and I were in the first few races of the day. Mackenzie, Rhiannon and Mark also rose with the sun to get a piece of that early morning practice session. After their practice, Mackenzie and Rhiannon headed back to the AirBnb for some breakfast and rest as their racing starts tomorrow. Meanwhile, Mark headed to the local Timmy Ho’s for some coffee and then parked himself in the grandstand to cheer on the Senior Women. His cheering certainly paid off, as Taylor, Bridget and I all won our hea ..read more

One Way to do May
Green Racing Project

5y ago
In the ski world, May 1 is seen as a very special day; the start of the new training year! It’s such a special day that Fasterskier.com dedicated an entire article to it. May is the time for reflecting on the past year, acting on goals set for the coming year, and getting back in to the groove of training. Much of the GRP Biathlon team had a similar month to me, so I am going to chronicle that below. After a few days in Craftsbury, the month kicked off in earnest with a training camp in Bend, Oregon, followed by a quick trip to Columbus, Ohio (not great ski training there!), then home again to ..read more
