Trying to beat your teammate’s erg score

The only thing standing between you and your goal is the bullshit story you keep telling yourself as to why you can’t achieve it.

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
