USRowing Southeast Regionals

After 7 hours of driving to the middle of nowhere, I finally found the race site. Definitely not my favorite because it is a strong head wind, the course is extremely slanted, and it's very hot. Good thing Marvin Leninger is here to keep me company! I went out for a small 4k practice with a practice run of the course. It went well, but it feels long with a head wind. My heat tomorrow is at 7:30a.m. and I am in lane 2; the first 2 go to final. I'm not worried but I'm still skeptical on how the race will go because I have no idea who my competitors are.
