Call 1-800-Eat My Wake

It is crew season. I miss rowing when I was in high school. I want to be on the Water and hear the sound of the oars. Through all the pain and struggle, wondering where the finish line could possibly be, through all the power 10s & 500 meter sprints, even through all the blisters on blisters, bruises, hurting shoulders, and those lovely Uni tans.  I want to be making jokes that only Rowers understand like "man, I hate catching crabs" or " I <3 my Cox". I want those easy practice where all you do is climb on a trailer to load the boats. I want to be on those long bus rides with the team going to Regattas. I want to be on that glassy water. I want to not notice any one but the people in my boat. I want To feel that anxiety feeling when you launch from the dock to go to the starting line, all that nervousness when prepare yourself for the starting 5, that feeling of "I got this" and "Im a beast when you are in your first 500m, that "i cant do this anymore" when you are at 1000m, that "almost done" feeling when you hit 1500m, and that sense of relief that you can pass out when you cross that finish line, and that easy row back.

I Want to be a Rower Again
