Basically the only good thing about getting up in the morning and rowing are the pretty pictures

Hi, I’m skate and I row a lot. I’ve been banging up and down the slide for a good six years, and I’ve gotten relatively efficient in the past couple of years sliding this little blue boat down the river. I’ve had good days, bad days, and everything in between. This summer I made the leap from junior to U23 rowing and it’s been a shit show to say the least, but i’m not unhappy with the progress. 

Going from the best at home to the worst has been tough and i’ve learned and relearned those bumpersticker life lessons. For three weeks, I had a bad time and then I had a pretty mediocre week and then I popped back into civilization at U23 trials. While it wasn’t optimal and I didn’t race my own category (lightweight), I did learn some stuff, try some stuff, and see some stuff. Most importantly, I got familiar with the process and where I am versus where I need to be. That being said, there are fewer than 365 days to the next U23 trials event, and fewer than 24 hours until I’ll start busting my ass to get in the finals and going fast next year. 

Here goes the campaign, Plovdiv 2017.
