The Head of the Riverfront November 6, 2011


OK, the Riverfront is our "last away" regatta! Previous scheduled for October 2, 2011, this regatta was postponed due to unsafe water levels. I will be sending updates and racing lineups along as we get closer to this regatta. For now, there is one-step for you follow to make sure your athlete is eligible to race at the Riverfront Recapture. This process will take you less than 10 minutes.

Here are the details for Sunday, November 6, 2011 weekend's race at the Riverfront Recapture.

Waivers

Please have your athlete go to signyourwaiver.com and have them complete the waiver process. Make surethey note Yuri Kolomiets as coach, and Norwalk as their affiliation

Buses
The buses will depart NRRA at 6:30 am on Sunday, November 6, 2011. Athletes should arrive no later than 6:00 am. There will be a boys’ bus and a girls’ bus. There will be no stops on the way to Hartford, so athletes should bring their own breakfast and drinks on the bus, especially if they are racing early in the morning. The return to NRRA will be on the probably 5:30 pm. Please communicate with your athlete so that the chaperones are not waiting late in the evening with your child.

Food/Water
The Parent's Organization will provide lunch, and snacks throughout the day. Breakfast will not be available in time for crews racing early in the day, so plan accordingly. Athletes should bring plenty of water and sports drinks for the day -- the parent's tent cannot possibly keep 85 athletes hydrated all day!

Racing
This course is approximately 2.83 miles. The racecourse runs North, up river. The finish line is just south of the Founders Bridge. Spectators have an excellent view of the final portions of the race from Charter Oak Landing. Here is the approximate race schedule for our crews. Actual starting times may change slightly.
