It has been a fun week of selection here in Princeton NJ, we are doing some good werrrk (best Australian accent). As I said before we are trying to create a fast combination of four guys, for the 4- entry at the World Championships. We started out with 4 boats and have worked our way down to 3. Each guy has been in a boat that has won as well as lost and the margins are about 3 seconds separating the boats (in most cases). This is a good sign for our team, it shows we have a decent amount of depth. The bad news is we are so close that it makes selection take longer than anyone wants. Tim, our coach is waiting for one line up to "Click" and pull a fast time down the course. Once that happens I think we will put a nice bow on it and be done. For any of the guys who do not make the 4- (I could be one of them), we go into selection for the 8+. We will have 16 guys going for the 8 spots in the boat, the 8 who do not make it will go to 2- or 2+ trials. We do have a date this must be done by and that is September, 20th, only two weeks to go.
It has been a decent gut check this past 14 days. Since the NSR started 2 weeks ago we have done 10 all out 2ks in 14 days.
