Rachel & Mom at 2005 Crew Nationals

We didn't see much of Rachel during Nationals because she was always either preparing for a race or resting up for the next one. But I did catch this shot taken before the women's Varsity 8 victory in their semi-final heat (described in a previous entry). Mom was right at home with her new crew t-shirt and JL Sports hat. We were so lucky to have Jane and Tim's chairs with attachable umbrellas to keep out of the ferocious sunshine. We agreed that it was the most fun sporting event either of us had ever attended.
