USA M2x

Much bigger update coming soon on how the double is going, but first just wanted to send out a link to our fundraising page. https://www.gofundme.com/usam2x I should mention that I have gotten incredible support this year working for John Chatzky at Swing Ventures and Ben just completed an 8 week internship at Swing. Chatz has gone above and beyond to support our boat and is excited about helping us push to Tokyo; however, the reality is that supporting multiple athletes and a coach is a very expensive endeavor, especially when we are trying to give ourselves every possible advantage. We cannot afford to skimp on anything, whether it be the top of the line boat,  PT/massage, recovery fuel, etc.  Our goal is to have no compromise, to leave no stone unturned, and to approach this as professionally as possible--the way an Olympic Medalist M2x would approach it. Despite being somewhat satellite members of the team at Craftsbury, Dick and Judy again have been very generous by housing and feeding us for the better part of three weeks but as we transition down to Florida for final preparations we are looking to raise around $6,000 to cover our travel expenses and equipment costs. Thank you so much to everyone that has read the blog over the years and has believed in this journey, it means everything to me. Hopefully tomorrow I'll have something up about how the last two weeks have been and then have a pretty steady flow of video and pictures as we ramp up into Worlds. For now, he's a little clip of Ben and I doing 4 x 1500m at base rate and pace against a throw together M4x last weekend.
