2018-02-02 - Catching Crabs

 

~4.3 mi @ ~10.0 min/mi

"Erin caught a crab. It broke her nose and knocked her unconscious!" Cait explains more rowing language as we sprint down the long hill at mile 3. "Catching a crab" refers to getting an oar caught in the water, sometimes with dire results. In this case it happened to a comrade in the boat during a race - and no, they did not go on to win. And yes, sometimes an entire crew catches crabs! Temps fall from the mid-30s to below freezing as a squall line brings eye-watering gusty northwest winds.
