Crew??? No. It takes forever - drive/run to boathouse, pre row warm up and boat launching, workout, take care of and put away boat, drive home. A basketball practice is shorter. It also gets very intense - boats tend to get very tight, and competition for seats on a boat are often intense head to head races, either in a boat or on an erg. It’s a lot.

And it’s WONDERFUL.[/quote]

NP, and former rower - yeah, I LOL'd at that suggestion, too.  It's one of the most intense sports out there in terms of physical demands: technique, strength, power, aerobic endurance... and it is the absolute best. :)

Most cross-country teams are more welcoming than the one PP mentioned.  Only the fastest kids' times count towards team scores at regular meets, but everyone runs.  I loved cross-country.

The problem in this area is that so many kids start out very young, and so the competition by high school is steep even to participate at some high schools.  Cross-country is different in that most kids don't start running that young.  It's also not technical in the way swimming or baseball is, which means people with natural speed don't have to play much catch-up.[/quote]
