Good news is we now know USRA Indoor National Championships will be held Saturday, February 1, 2025, in the multi-site + virtual hybrid format employed last year. The bad news is that USRA just solicited Site Host Proposals on August 22. Seems unlikely they will announce selected sites until early October?

I think we can assume Pittsburgh and Alexandria are in again. Would be nice to have a few more options.

(And will CRASH-Bs be one of the options?)

Alexandria is a great ergatta. If there isn't a closer site for me I'd definitely go back to Alexandria rather than doing virtual.

NW Ergomania in Tacoma, WA was the only west coast site this year. Although Ergomania has been around quite a while, it is new at this site, hosted by this club, so it still has some growing pains. It's great they got a USRA host site in only their second year, so maybe this year it will be bigger. Hope they get the bid.

(I have noticed over the years that most of the hard core on-water rowers around here that I see at the top of the regatta results don't do erg races. Hmmm?)

I'm infamous around the Community Rowing boathouse in Boston for being the only one in our crew who likes erg races. :mrgreen:
