The Race

It all happened in the middle of October at Saratoga Springs. The rowing team gathered  to compete for number 1! On the day of the race, it started pouring. There were a lot of people under the tents. People were cheering, but it was really hard to actually see who is in each boat. Everyone was excited and cheered for all the teams, even the ones that they were competing against. Hundreds of people went to this event. There were many tents that were set for selling souvenirs, food, clothes and a lot more. Most people were wearing boots and rain jackets because of the weather. It was about 50 degrees F with powerful wind. Everyone was standing up, there were no benches. Everyone got their phones out and started to record the race. The weather was so bad that some of the rowers got hypothermia and had to be taken top the hospital! According to a rower named Dani, one of the teams had to forfeit. Even though the weather ruined the race, the rowers seemed to enjoy it.
