Rowing is not a sport, it is an addiction

Row row row your boat gently down the long island sound. Merrily merrily merrily merrily life is but a seemingly calm day that suddenly turns into ridiculous conditions and all you can think is "we didn't stay in the lagoon for THIS?!"

I might be developing schizophrenia from the single

I literally have a whole storyline joke about my “8 rowers and coxswain” who are all just me. My coxswain and stroke seat yell at each other and are so sassy. My cox takes super aggressive lines but the coach loves it so its okay. My three-tard is always late.

Except it’s all just me. In a single

imthecoxswain:

please let there be good water tomorrow

please let there be good water tomorrow

please let there be good water tomorrow

please let there be good water tomorrow

please let there be good water tomorrow

Racing a single at ACRA

coach: Spencer, your technique as far as I can tell is flawless.  Don’t change anything

me: ok

coach: let’s find some speed

me: I’ll get right on that

coach: you look thrilled

me: you know the best thing about rowing a single?  You don’t need to wait for anyone else to take a boat picture
