How do you handle losing? How do you bounce back?
I remember that the only time you’re really defeated is when you stop trying to win.
serious question here, how did you go about changing clubs? Is it awkward doing it? I don't like the club i'm at but if I change to another it sort of feels like a dog act...
It’s a little awkward…. but honestly it was a great decision for me. I love my new team, and it took me great places and I love everyone on it. Just contact the coaches of the team you want to switch to and simply talk to them. Get a feel for their program and if it fits, it fits.
Hi! I'm 5'7 and 107 lbs and I row novice 8, and my best 500m was 2:09...i feel like thats a really bad 500m time. And my cardio vascular endurance sucks. Have any tips on how to increase it? Its getting better but really slowly:(
Do long distance pieces. They will really help build your endurance. Cross training my also help. Lift a little, run, bike, swim. Work your tail off. It will pay off in the long run I promise.
Have you ever rowed a pair boat? How is it like?
Personally pairs are really hard for me, but I’ve only ever rowed it once and we went in circles
How come people who do crew seem to really smart? My whole team' s average is a 95. Other schools seem to be like that too
is bow a good seat to have in an 8?
No seat is better than any other. Bow seat typically is really sound technically and help the set.
it's cool to see another rower out there who isn't insanely tall :) sometimes i feel like im the only one
Short rowers! FTW!
And tall rowers…
basically all rowers are awesome.
but yay! :D
is being a cox or a rower better for college?
It’s hard to tell what you mean by better.
I think there are a lot more rowers trying to get recruited, but both are still tough. I’d say rowing: more competition, coxing: harder to judge.
you God like rower youu!(:
hahah thanks? ;)
FIRST RACE OF THE SEASON TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!<3 <3 <3 <3
I’m so sorry I didn’t reply earlier!
I hope you did awesome!!!!! :D
what kind of 2k would you need if you want to get into a d1 college for rowing?
For women it’s 7:30-7:40 and below
advice for a 6k?
Race plan.
Pace yourself.
Hydrate.
Survive.
Sorry. We don’t do 6ks on the women’s team
can you put up the a separate link, on the side, to the rowing survey you had of other rowers' tumblrs for regatta meet ups?
Maybe. Sorry I have a lot to do today, so I’ll add it to the to do list
I remember you mentioned making rowing shirts? Do you have a separate website that I can buy them from?
Currently I am not selling shirts.
