WCPA Senior Women continued their great run, beating the Philadelphia Senior Women in both of today's 500 meters, races for the Team USA Qualifier. After the first 500, one of the team members from California described the transition as if we were just shifting gears. Another teammate described being able to hear them call their finish on the Philadelphia boat while we were still in the body of our race. We stayed steady and she described it as a knowing sense of "wait for it, wait for it" on the boat and when Jeannette did call the finish, we poured it on and just surged in classic Wasabi fashion. It's been a very successful set of races for the women having won 8 out of 8 races so far.
