i just finished my first year of collegiate novice coxing. i want to emphasize one of the biggest things i learned. your weight is not an indicator of your ability. i am 5'5, 124 lbs. we had one novice boat and 2 novice coxswains. i have 20 lbs on the other girl. but 4/5 races, i was driving. at sprints we raced in a 3v category despite being pure novice and took 3rd in our heat by .15 seconds. we won against that boat not despite my weight, but because of my other skills. the girls wanted me in that boat for a lot of reasons, regardless of weight. and yeah, i’m trying to lose 5lbs for varsity this summer by eating better, but i’m never going to be that 110 lb cox, and it doesn’t matter. don’t let your weight hold you back.

Erg races are wild. Everyone is screaming and cheering. You’ve got people all over the floor in various stages of death. Coaches and coxswains are carrying people away from the ergs so the next race can start. The concession stand sells cliff bars. There’s a giant guy literally cuddling a trash can. The race officials keep walking by to put the can back by the ergs, but none of them can bring themselves to take the trash can away from the poor guy. His cox keeps promising that he is in fact okay. There’s t-shirts for sale to commemorate the event. Everyone is high on pain/adrenaline/endorphins/shock bloks by the end of it. Good times man.

At least we didn’t have to send anyone to the hospital this year…

Me a coxswain: Looks like it’s the last 300 meters of the race

Me at me: Tell them they’re at the last 250 and need to sprint

Aspects of your life that stretch far into the future are determined by what you make of this day right here.

And this is why timing is so freaking important. If you watch the video close enough you can see that when everyone gets the the catch the boat doesn’t stop or get jerked back or anything it just immediately gets more moment from the drive. This is what no check looks like.

Two athletes have provided one of the most inspirational moments of the Rio Olympics so far when they tripped over each other in the women’s 5,000 metres - then helped one another to carry on.

American Abbey D'Agnostino and Nikki Hamblin of New Zealand were 3,000m into the race today when D'Agnostino appeared to clip Hamblin’s heel, sending both tumbling to the ground.

But instead of appearing frustrated that their dreams of glory were apparently over, both women put on a display of the Olympic spirit that will live on long after the Games are over.

D'Agnostino, 24, immediately got up to help her rival - then, as it became clear that she had a right ankle injury, Hamblin tried to help her continue.

Both athletes attempted to start chasing after the pack that had left them. But D'Agostino could not keep going as her knee had apparently twisted awkwardly in the fall.

She told Hamblin to go on as she collapsed on to all fours on the track. But the camera then came back to D'Agostino and she was back on her feet and running again.

Hamblin said: ‘When i went down, I was like “Whats happening, why am I on the ground?” And suddenly there’s this hand on my shoulder like “Get up, get up, we have to finish this.”

‘I’m so grateful for Abbey for doing that for me. I mean, that girl is the Olympic spirit right there.

‘I’m so impressed and inspiring that she did that. I’ve never met her before. Like, I’ve never met this girl before. And isn’t that just so amazing?’

Both Hamblin and D'Agostino were subsequently promoted to the 5000m final on Friday. [x]

it looks like i need major reparative surgery for my shoulder, which essentially puts me out of the boat for another 3/4 months at the least. the upside is that i can work on my coxing skills and possibly think about pursuing that in college.. but man, am i bummed rn
