Head of the Speakmon 2010

Thanks to Maureen Busis for this nice recap of the Speakmon Regatta:

Congratulations to our rowers who competed Saturday in the Head of the Speakmon.  We enjoyed a beautiful autumn day with blue skies and temperatures ranging from crisp to warm.   Speakmon changed the parking rules this year allowing parking along the park road which was nice for those that knew – for those of us that did not, it was carrying the boats as usual.  We persevered though, with great cooperation from everyone (ie, all hands on the Brittney!).

We had some close races and a few medals were won by mere seconds, reinforcing that every stroke counts.  

Special thanks to our race organizers Rebecca "I see the bridge" Williams and Sue Cohen.  When it comes to dedication they win the award for working to the end to find us coxswains.  We had two great coxswains from OSU, Regina and Elena, both graduates of Pittsburgh high schools
