San Diego State Aztec Crew Team
April 29, 2008
I recently donated my services to a silent auction for the San Diego Crew Classic. The highest bidders were the parents of this lovely lady, Caitlynn.
I had to wake up at 5:30AM!!!! Normally I go to bed at that time…okay not really, but 6AM is the standard start time for these ladies. They were doing push- up’s when I arrived. Ugh!
The sunrise was beautiful and if I could just get myself to wake up that early, I could experience more of those.
Caitlynn is the COXSWAIN(cock-sin). If you are like me, you aren’t familiar with that word. Basically, she is like the quarterback of the boat. She does the steering and calls all of the shots!!!
Usually the coxswain is the smallest person on the team but as you can see, she packs quite the punch!!!
I was truly impressed by these girls…waking up so early and just working soooo hard at the crack of dawn. Best of luck to them in their season….thanks for having me 
Lisa, you’re the best!!!
Great Job Lisa.
Lisa! These are FANTASTIC!! How did you get so close up to the boats in the water? Were you in another boat?
I have so much respect for these girls. I tried out for Crew my freshman year at SDSU + eventually quit due to the rigorous shedule of waking up at 5 a.m. + running for many MANY miles! You did an awesome job of capturing the essence of this team.
great pics, Lisa. I can just see you, floating in your big black rubber tire to get those closeup shots!
Caitlynn’s parents must have LOVED the close up shots of their daughter in action.
