It's lucky I look good in purple

I started this as my rowing/fitness blog. It was with me through my first season as an R2 rower and into now - a period of big change and adjustment in my rowing career. I post whatever I feel like, whenever I feel like - inspirational quotes, pictures, training updates and random rants may all be included. Come on in, I don't bite (hard) :-)

We are a drinking team, with a rowing problem

We may not beat you on the water, but we sure as hell will drink you under the table

Rowing is not well understood by the masses. Never will be. I like that about rowing. It’s remarkably un-glamorous. No money to be made. No grand slam. No slam dunk. From the outside it looks easy. Inside the boat all hell is always breaking loose.

This yoga video is extremely helpful with releasing tension and stress in your body! I just did it while feeling super tight and tense about my Monday and it really made me feel a lot better! While she does talk rather fast, the movements feel amazing. I highly recommend it! (:

Respect the boat, take good care of it. The last thing you want as you’re lining up in those blocks is for the boat to be fighting back.

Rowers tend to be really tough because they continue to work hard in this environment where success and even appreciation is rare and uncertain. Basketball players get to slap hands when they miss a free throw, we don’t.

It’s addictive, it’s painful, everything hurts, everything burns, rowing is hell
