As we boarded the parking shuttle we met Frank Augustus Frye. I introduced myself when I noticed that he was wearing a million meter club shirt from Concept2. I told him about the Iron Oarsman team which is part of the world ranking. We had a great time exchanging rowing information AND FRANK will be joining our group. He told us that he has rowed one million meters. So to you Frank, WELCOME to TEAM IRON OARSMAN.
We also met Alfred Czerner he is in his seventies and is capapble to race in the 730ies for 2000 meters. His website is www.allrowing.ws
We watched how Cal Berkley lost to Stanford. Cal's loss will bring great motivation to the team to rectify that mishap, or was it not?
Greg Springer came to say hello. He is an old friend of ours who used to live in Orange County. He won an Olympic silver medal in 1984 in the men's coxed four.
Larry Moore from the Orange Coast college is also a friend of ours and my parents in law. He had a great day today with the first freshman boat coming in a close thrid in the final to Cal and Stanford. The Orange Coast College varsity competed in the Junior Varsity Cup and W O N. We should not forget that OCC is a 2 year Junior College. In my opinion it is all the coach's fault if four year schools are not capable to beat Orange Coast College.
Long Beach Master C women's eight won with two hundred boat lengths.
There was a very nice video screen which made it fun to follow the races today.
Our children had fun palying on the palyground.
We met up with Peter Dreissigacker who showed me the FISH GAME on the rowing machine. Fun game which I will add to the elementary school rowing machines where I volunteer coaching time.
