Always Rowing

Rowing... always rowing... I'm always rowing... indoors, outdoors, whatever.

2017 Atlanta Erg Sprints was a rousing success! 4 medals for the Rowbot Fitness Crew, and 3 world records! Congrats to Jeanne Daprano on the world records. I was basically just glad to survive my race!

A fellow rowing instructor thought my perfect scores in the Darts game didn’t count as much because I was rowing at ~2:10/500m while coaching. He pulled a 14,300 score @ 2:03/500m. He may be a decade younger, but he should know better...

Don’t think because I didn’t, means I can’t. Ever.

I don’t understand teams in the south that just… Don’t have an off season?? They row year round? Their lakes aren’t frozen over? They don’t erg as much as we do?? I d o n o t g e t i t

We can row year-round, but there’s still plenty of erging. Don’t worry.

I always go to practice with feeling so strong and ready go, and then I hop on the erg and five minutes later I begin to question the reality of my being. Ergs are dangerous for your brain, man.

Fix your technique, Spacey.

As part of an eight, however, one performs at the level of the crew. When every part of each body says stop, inexplicably the boat still continues. Individual limitations reassert themselves only when the race is over; only then is the body released from the tyranny of the shell and allowed to vomit, lose consciousness or gracefully expire.

WaterRower is a waste of time/money. Get a C2.
