Race prep & playlist

Some side by side racing as we prep for the Oregon State Classic this weekend at Dexter Reservoir in Eugene.  Don't let the sun fool you.  It was a typical NW spring day - cold, windy, rainy.  

One of my favorite things about spring and the regattas are the "little" tasks that pop up.  Changing oar length, or pitching/spreading a boat, working around the boathouse, etc.  I usually enjoy doing this more when it's warm, but a day at the boathouse up to my elbows in rigging is a good day.  I tend to enjoy doing these tasks alone.  It takes longer, but it's my own time and space, and I find squeezing speed out of the tiny details to be good therapy.  As such, I like to put together a playlist that helps me focus on the task, and zone out the rest of the world.
