Where do you fellows row? At Aquatic Park?, the Alameda Estuary?, the reservoir (I forget the name) in the N. Berkeley hills?, or ....? My brother and sister graduated from BHS, but that was 75 years ago. We moved after that, so I didn't go there. The only HS rowing in the Bay Area in those days was in SF in whale boats.<br /><br />Bob S.<br /> </td></tr></table><br />we row at JLAC alongside the oakland strokes. JLAC stands for Jack London Aquatic Center, it's right by coastgurad island and alameda(so yea the alameda estuary)(some NASTY water btw)<br /><br />75years ago...?!?!? wow do you mean 7.5 years ago? anyways glad to know that there is another Berkeley native around here. :0<br /> </td></tr></table><br /><br />Well, there's another thread on the forum talking about Bob's new 80-84 2k WR, so yes, I think perhaps he did mean 75 years ago! <br />

I row for Saratoga in ny and have yet to do a 2k this season. Our first test is on Wednesday and I'll post the results when they come.<br /><br />I'm very competitive and I was curious to see where other teams were at.<br /> </td></tr></table><br /><br /><br /><br />wow, thats great<br /><br /><br />hey! i have probably rowed against you in a race! our team has soooooo many races at saratoga , haha. i am 15 and i row for Fayeteville-Manlius Crew. ever heard of us? we had one of you guys substute into our boat becasue we were missing a person, he was pretty good, i forget his name tho. honestly i have probably seen you out there on the water, i find that pretty cool.\<br /><br />i have my 2k test for this winter season tomarrow! o man! my best is sadly an 8:02 i hope to break 8 on this one! hopefully...<br />and o ya, i wiegh 136 pounds, a bit underweight

My brother was born in 1912 and my sis, who is still alive and kicking, came along in 1914. She caught up with him in school and they graduated together from BHS in 1930. I was an afterthought, born in 1924. I had a year of kindergarden and one semester of 1st grade at Jefferson Grammar School in Berkeley and then we moved to Marin County where I attended San Quentin Grammar School (believe it or not) and San Rafael High. I learned to row in big heavy wooden skiffs in the Bay off the San Quentin Peninsula - along side the old ferry wharf which has long since been replaced by the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge.<br /><br />If you think that the Estuary is nasty now, you should have seen it in the forties, before they did a major cleanup on it. In those day it was full of "Estuary Fish." The waterside homes on Alameda Island didn't have sewage lines, it just went directly into the Estuary. Our coxswain was a brave man. He wanted to win, but he got sick every time we threw him in.<br /><br />regards,<br /><br />Bob S.

We'll be seeing you guys in spring @ NY States (good luck).<br /> </td></tr></table><br /><br />You haven't been around that long if you think that Chaminade is always ahead of Saratoga. And I believe last year we were closer than we've been in awhile, so I'd watch your back. <br /><br />I just had a 2k test yesterday. I wasn't feeling that well and pulled a 7:09. I'm excited for Nationals on our home water this year and I'll be seeing some of you guys around....<br /><br />jbell, by your senior year we'll see if you guys are still up.

Now I'm wondering which split i sholud row at my 2k test planned next week.<br />my 500m time is 1:32:6<br />1000m 3:23.3<br /><br /><br />So maybe based on your experience you can suggest some times..<br /> Thanks Max.el

Hold a 1:45 split for 1500m and then give it all you got for the last 500m.<br /><br />Oh, by the way, go to the crash-b challenge post and row your piece on feb 25th with everyone else.<br /><br />Good Luck<br /><br />Owen 8)

TOGACREW::<br /><br />So, we [winter park] had a scrimmage with you guys today...<br />My boat (frosh 8) raced your third 8 twice...<br />Happy to say we won both by several boat lengths, with a rating cap.<br />It was fun finally racing against someone other than a winter park boat.<br /><br />Hope to see you guys again.
