Awesome Possum: Cross the Line →

My boathouse calls it the line in the sand. It’s not actual sand. It’s the line separating the concrete outside the boathouse from the concrete inside. To a non-rower, it’s not a significant line. But to us, it means everything.
Once you cross that line, all casualness and joking disappears. When…
dude. I love you. You. are. so. incredibly. awesome.
Reblog if you're a Wizard or Witch who goes to Hogwarts. I want to follow every single one of you <3
You know you're a rower when...you compare everything to rowing...ALWAYS.
Every damn day baby :)
hi! i'm an interested rower. a lot of my close friends do it and the river near us is beautiful. i've always enjoyed kayaking which is kinda similar in a way. however i'm physically weak. i'm just now getting back into shape by doing excessive stretching and biking when it's not raining. however i heard that there is a novice coach and regular coach. if i joined next year i'd be the only novice out of my friends. is there a way to do some time of winter program or whatever to be eligible to row in regular races? they have an erg at my school which i can hopefully use to practice on but still. i know it's a big commitment but i think it'd be really rewarding.
Well! I started during the winter and worked my ass of (really it’s gotten smaller lol) Idk what ur situation is, but honestly even if you’re not with your friends, the girls you have in the boat are people you will have an unimaginable connection with. The key is dedication. Work hard, pull hard, never give up, and maybe your coach will bump you up.
I hope this helps!!! Rowing is a great sport for EVERYONE

Today was...
looking gloomy. Nothing seemed to be going right.
Got in trouble at cheer.
Probs failed my 2 tests.
Boys: they’re stupid.
and everything else that was piling on top of me….
And honestly I wasnt going to go to practice because my bicep hurt so bad… but I did…
AND I GOT TO ROW SWEEP WITH VARSITY.
it was everything I’d hoped it would be ad more (even with the wind and unset boat)
love
It seems like everyone's practice today was pretty crappy. So I'm initiating a giant, Tumblr-wide, virtual rower's hug.
I love u bro ^^
