4K Practice Piece

So far our fall season has been pairs only rowing so my first opportunity to go on the water in a coxed boat was today (finally!). With our first head race happening this weekend, we did a practice 4K in 4's. This is my first time back in a competitive boat in months and so coxing isn't where I'd like it to be but I thought I'd share it just for some starter recordings because there never seems to be enough on the internet anyways! Enjoy and Good Luck to the many people also starting their season this weekend

Summer Drag

As summer continues and more time of training alone has passed, motivation becomes harder to find. How hard can you push yourself with no one next to you to beat? Who will notice if you cheat yourself of the full warm up? Will that one workout even matter?

In a sport that demands team work, separation can be what breaks people. What one person does on their own affects the team and those who have been dedicated easily stand out from the rest.  Think about what you have been doing right now to help the team. Think about whether your actions have been more constructive or destructive to what you have been building up for months as a team.

Summer is not a time to lose sight of the goal. It's a time to self-evaluate your progress and rededicate yourself to improving on your own...  because that is what your teammates will notice.
