Things rowers hate:

1. Rowing when it’s freezing out 2. Not being able to go out and having to erg 3. Waiting for 3+ hours to be able to leave a regatta 4. Forgetting a post workout snack 5. When the person in front of you splashes you a lot (especially in combination with the first) 6. Novice boats/coxies who don’t know the course yet 7. On-the-square rowing practices 8. When the sun doesn’t rise until practice is entirely over 9. When coaches wake your boat badly 10. When someone says they didn’t pull as hard as they could have 11. Lightning 12. Heavy old wooden boats 13. When people who don’t row complain about how they have to get up at 6:00 14. Disgustingly polluted water

But it’s worth it

Tbh we all look forward to the Olympics so much but in reality it’s just three weeks of stress watching your favorite athletes suffer

It’s a waste of time and energy to merely look good. Put your effort into actually being good and delivering real value.
