H2O Open 2025

Some races are won by inches. The 1000m Final B at the 2025 H2O Open was not one of them.

Off Quai #1 with the starter, the Phoenix Warriors took the lead early, settled into a rate they could hold, and simply never came back to the field. The clock stopped at 5:18.88 – first across the line, and more than fifteen seconds clear of the next boat. Aucune pénalité, aucun bonus: just a clean, honest, dominant row.

Earlier in the day the crew opened with the 500m Final B, finishing 4th in 2:36.86 in a pack separated by less than three seconds from second to sixth – the kind of race that sharpens a boat for what comes later.

Race Results:

1st Place – 1000m Community Mixed Final B (5:18.88)

4th Place – 500m Community Mixed Final B (2:36.86)

Distance racing rewards the crews that keep showing up in the off-season, and this one did. One boat, one heartbeat – the Phoenix rises again.
