It's not exactly muscle beach, but Wasabi members continued to flex their muscles on the various teams.
It was a full day of racing with the festival races also going on.
Festival races were interspersed with the national qualifier races.
Water conditions were challenging and several boats went off their course. Sadly, one of them was the WCPA grand master mixed, who won the first heat against Philly, but was disqualified for losing control and impeding another boat.
Now out of contention tomorrows final race will be for pride.
We don't have all the results from today's racing, so stay tuned.
Tomorrow will also be the National Club Crew race. One race to decide the champion...no pressure!

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.
WCPA Senior Women didn't win their last 500 meters but had a great wknd with 8/9 wins. Power Surge won Womens Division A Festival and National Club Crew Senior Womens Championship. Someone will need to move some of the trophies around in the case so there's room for the new ones!
Love the blog -- keep up the good work and keep those pics coming! We are rooting for everyone!
