It's not quite Throwback Thursday yet, but we are counting down to the Head of the Charles Regatta this weekend so more "throwbacks" felt appropriate to us! This photo goes back 16 years to 2010 (did anyone else just feel a little panic realizing 16 years have passed? 🫣). What do you think of these old jacket designs? We love them!

For more information on racing this weekend, head to the HOCR website and be sure to check our socials later for SRA race information: https://hocr.org/

Sammamish Rowing Association has a diverse group of masters all with their own goals for rowing. Some prefer to just participate recreationally and enjoy the camaraderie and exercise while others intentionally train for competitive regattas.

For some, our local PNW races are the perfect way to showcase their development as rowers while others seek to find opportunities out of state. For 5am rowers Tara Neider and NJ Johnston— finding their next challenge meant flying across an entire ocean to Bled, Slovenia!

Another successful Tail of the Lake regatta is in the books! We want to extend a special thank you to Holy Names for hosting such a wonderful regatta and giving us a great start to our fall racing season. We could not have asked for better conditions with sunny weather and mild temperatures on beautiful Lake Union, Lake Washington, and through the Montlake Cut.

We always enjoy when both our masters and juniors squads get to compete at the same venue together and this past weekend we saw wonderful cooperation and camaraderie. One ECM rower told Coach Stephen Pryor, "I want to give a hearty shout out to the junior rowers, especially the junior boys, for being so helpful yesterday. We got our boat off the trailer and they descended like a pit crew to start rigging. After we got it de-rigged a young man organized a group to man the trailer and get it up to the top rack. Out there giving teenage boys a good name! I know other boats had similar experiences." Thank you to our wonderful juniors and masters for working together to make the day as smooth as possible!

That teamwork and efficiency led to some great results on the water too. Our top results (gold, silver, and bronze) are listed below.

Top Results:
Mixed Masters 8+: 3rd place
Mens U17 4+: 1st and 3rd place
Womens U17 4+: 2nd and 3rd place

What do you think of our new rowing unis? They were on full display this weekend at Tail of the Lake in Seattle. Anita Sarrett, Junior Girls Head Coach, was super excited for the junior's first regatta of the season. "We use this early Fall race as an opportunity to get back into racing, get a first look at our speed, and practice the skills that come with head racing," she said. "This is a chance for athletes to practice race preparation and ex*****on, settle back into competing together, and identify what we want to keep building on as we move into the heart of our fall racing season."

With blue skies and perfect temperature, it was a wonderful day of racing for both our junior and masters squads. We look forward to sharing top results tomorrow! 🏅

PR alert! Beloved Mid-Morning teammate, Sharon Rhinevault, took an entire minute off her boathouse 5K personal record (PR) on Friday. At 85 years old, Sharon falls into the K category (85+). Her original record was 29:58 and her new record is 28:58. Coach Matt and her teammates are pictured cheering her on for the last couple of seconds. Our record board will be updated soon!

"Almost everyone on the team wants to be Sharon when they grow up," said Susannah Pryal who shared these images. Sharon is a wonderful example of how rowing is a sport for everyone regardless of age. From middle schoolers to octogenarians, SRA welcomes people from many diverse backgrounds to our squads.

Our sport tends to be gentler on the body compared with other sports like running which can be hard on the knees and hips. Rowing is often regarded as one of the most effective full-body workouts, offering numerous health benefits. The movements in rowing engage nearly all muscles in the body, but do so in a low-impact way helping mitigate the risk of impact-related injuries while still offering an intense workout.

We hope you take a little inspiration from Sharon and chase after your next PR. Please join us in congratulating her on this huge accomplishment! 🎉🎉🎉

Fall is cozy season which means right after we finish practice we want to curl up with a good book! There is plenty of rowing based literature out there that would be perfect to add to your shelf or e-reader this season. 📖📚

Fall season has returned, and with it a change in weather! Follow these tips below to keep yourself and your teammates safe.

Be visible on the water: Make sure your headlamps are easily accessible and fully charged. Remember that as we lose light, hi-viz clothing is truly the ONLY WAY your coaches can see you on the water.

Dress for success: Cold and wet conditions will be here before we know it. Tech fabrics, wool, and rain layers will help keep you warm and dry. Avoid all cotton, especially thick, baggy clothes (sweatshirts, sweatpants, pajama pants) which will get wet, stay wet, and pull heat away from your body.

Be safe on the lake: Re-familiarize yourself with the lake (maps posted in the boat bays), especially as starts to get dark. Remember, we should be traveling between shore and the white speed buoy when entering/exiting the slough. When traveling along shore, rowers should stay inside the buoys going south, outside the buoys (towards the center of the lake) going north. Be mindful of swimmers/kayakers/paddleboarders near shore in these last few weeks of good weather, especially near Idylwood and the Sammamish Landing

Safety is a community effort! Our staff is dedicated to your safety each and every day, but we need everyone to play a role in safety on and off the water. Keep an eye out for yourself and your teammates and thank you for everything you do to help your coaches run the safest practice possible!
