[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing about rowing is easy.[/quote]

I mean, unless you’re Aunt Becky’s daughter?

Seriously though, I miss rowing. I miss the camaraderie, I miss the biting cold wind and the peaceful sunrises (made unpeaceful hearing my coach over the megaphone, of course).I was a walk on at a D3 (SLAC) and had never rowed but pulled a good erg time in try outs. I was always a 5a person anyhow.

I’ve always wondered why more folks don’t try crew, but I can see mornings being hard. I think it either works for you or it doesn’t. Haven’t rowed since grad school, but I do want to get back to it when my kids are older. We have a concept2, but obv not the same as being out there.

I really hope one or both of my kids like crew— super fun sport to watch, no head trauma risk, and might work for my tall, long-torso, but probably not gifted w hand eye coordination kids.

I suspect some ppl look at #s of spots for recruits and just decide crew is worth a go, based on sheet volume.
