Collegiate Women: Playfair trophy
April 3, 2004; Potomac River, Wash, DC

Submitted by Holly Hatton.

Distance: 2000
Wind: very strong tail
Water: slight chop, swirling due to current but rowable
Current: very strong tail
Comments: We did race 2000 meters! Extremely fast current and wind. BU 2V caught crab in first 500 due to oar hitting debris. Not a boat stopper but caused them to fall of pace while rower recovered oar. Extensive amount of debris and large logs in water required referees to do "safety" steering of crews in most races. Current very uneven in lanes. Challenging conditions. GW & GT coaches worked incrediably hard to keep course clear and safe for racing.
