July's Smackdown Regatta : Loads of Video and Good Times

written by Brock Sampson

Austin Rowing Club’s July Smackdown Regatta was a huge success. There were approximately 70+ athletes representing novice, intermediate and competitive crews. Below are some video highlights that we can all share with friends and family.

Remember this feeling gang .. welcome to the world of racing!

Watch Novice heats for those newly formed crews anxiously awaiting their first taste of victory!

Watch an Intermediate Championship and a crew with new bragging rights!

The cheese wedge stroke seat won the MASH-UP hat race. The pick of the draw determined the experience level of the boat, so there was no telling how the race might end up! Who was that character anyway?

Afterwards, we all headed over to Luster Pearl to celebrate our ITR Graduates, relish in our victories, defeats, and have good times with new friends and family! Sorry, no video here, but we should all have a new appreciation for hoola-hoops!
