On The Banks of the Schuylkill River

“Here is history,” the river whispers. “Do you want to be a part of it?”

This is my third time in Philly and the sight of Boathouse Row still sends a thrill down my spine.

In college Dad Vails was our “championship.” Everything we did, we did with Philly in mind. In January, 1250 meters into a 2k erg test, coach would start describing the grandstand upstream of 3 angels. I grew up as a rower on stories of Vesper and Olympic training camps.

3 years ago I didn’t know how I was going to get myself back on the water. Philly was so impossible, it doesn’t even count as a pipe dream. Yet here I am, watching singles launch from Boathouse Row while I wait for the rest of the team to arrive. The river is calling and finally I get to answer it.

Ready. Ready. Row!

Back on the water and it feels so good.
