Spring Break is quickly approaching. Here are a few reminders:
We will be traveling to Oak Ridge via bus. Unlike our race buses, this one will not have a bathroom, however we will be stopping at rest stops or gas stations as needed through out the night for gas. There is plenty of storage for luggage underneath of the bus.
Don't forget to bring:
- Refillable water bottle
- Sneakers (for running or other activities)
- Swim Suit (to utilize the hotel's pool)
- Medications and Inhalers
- Insurance card
- Clothing appropriate for different types of weather
As far as weather goes, the lows are expected to be in the mid to upper 30's. The later parts of the day are expected to be in the mid-50s. There could be rain, snow, or some other form of freak weather, so be prepared! My freshman year we started out in snowsuits and ended up in t-shirts and tank tops. Remember that we will be rowing two times a day and you may be asked to cox at some point. You will want clean clothes the evening for dinner. Also, sage traveling wisdom states that you can never pack enough pairs of socks or underwear.
Additional items to consider:
- Blanket or pillow for the bus ride
- Board Games for the hotel
- Cellphone (don't forget the charger!)
There will be three Canadian preparatory schools and four colleges joining us at Spring Training in Oak Ridge. The rowing venue is quite large, but be prepared to experience boat traffic, especially if the local crews are out as well.
