Race Preparation- mostly mental...

Lake Hood, Canterbury school champs, for once a window of perfect weather.
Hard to pick a blip as there are great "rowing the boat" photos but in the end I have picked a quiet pre race moment, as parents are not allowed in the boat parks in any other regattas, so we dont get to see what is happening down in that magical space.
It seems to help that I was carrying a big camera and people did think I was an official photographer and had rights of entry, which I did not advise them otherwise....
