how to do a sally-up: - play this song (Flower by moby) - you start standing, feet in position to do a squat. when you squat, keep your knees from going over your toes. keep your chest up. you’re sitting and pushing your hips back rather than pushing your hips forward. - every time the singer says “bring sally down,” you squat down. your knees should be at 90 degrees. - hold that 90 degree squat until the singer says “bring sally up.” stand up on the “up,” and not before. - keep in mind that there are several choruses where you hold the squat. you only stand up when you hear the word “up.” - if you make it to the end, congrats! you get to do it one or two more times!

HAVE FUN

who decided to run head of the kevin at 6 am on a sunday

We got up to a 42 strokes/min rate during our high 20s today and it felt great, when you’re going that fast you’re terrified but you’re flying through the water and it’s so fun.

Everyone on my team thinks I’m crazy for enjoying erging more than being on the water but honestly? That’s where you put your work in and get faster, and that’s where you’ve got complete control over how you do. Also it’s not freezing cold so that’s nice.

Sorry I've been absent these past few days/weeks, I was going through championship season and it was really intense! But today was the New England championships and we came in 9th and we were seeded 9th so we did really well!

we did 2k testing today and now i feel like a sack of potatoes. apparently completing a 2k like that is supposed to be the equivalent of playing 2 basketball games, which, considering how I was about to die, I can believe.

I'm so proud of myself guys I was the youngest in my four by two years and we did really good and my cox said the only thing I need to work on is my focus (not getting distracted by the shore and the other boats) but that she was really impressed with me
