The Journey of a Coxswain

Life? Sorry, I have crew. I cox for Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, LA. Mainly I cox the men's boats, but since we only have 3 coxswains and of them I'm the only varsity, I usually end up coxing whatever boats don't interfere with my men. ******************* If you can't tell, not only am I the cox, but I'm also the photographer of the team. var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-30176061-1']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js'; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s); })();

Rowing is great because no matter what else happens in my life I can just show up to practice and pull hard.

Recently, some of the novices on my team asked me about what they should and shouldn’t eat before a race. My answer is simple: don’t eat shit. I could get all scientific and go into why you should consume “this amount” of carbs and “this amount” of fruits and vegetables, but let’s be real, no one...
