League Race #2 - Port of Redwood City: ARRIVAL TIME NOW 6AM

in

There has been a change in the schedule for tomorrow's race at the Port of Redwood City-the first race is now at 7:30 am.  All team members must be at the race course NO LATER THAN 6 AM.

The preliminary race schedule and lane assignments have been posted. Download them here (pdf, 52KB).  Remember: these may very well change!

The races will be ending earlier than originally planned as well, so parents driving the return leg must be at the race course by 11 am to pick up team members to be driven back to JLAC.  Please don't keep rowers, coaches and teammates waiting.

Since rain is predicted, it would be helpful if parents could bring extra canopies to set up so the team and families can stay dry.

Thanks!
