September 2024
The fall season always starts with the Head of the Hudson, organized by the Albany Rowing Club, where we race on the Hudson River. According to the event site, this year’s competition featured 36 clubs and 221 boats.
The day began with a crisp 55 degrees, warming up to a pleasant 70 by afternoon. It was a sunny autumn day—ideal for rowing.
We were picked up from high school at 6:45 a.m., and after arriving at the venue, we quickly rigged our boats. We spent the morning cheering on our teammates and waiting for our turns on the water.
I competed in both a quad and an eight, winning medals in both races.
Results:
- Men’s Junior 8+ – 3rd
- Men’s Junior 4x – 3rd
