A sport. It looks easy from the land but in reality it requires a LOT of technique, rhythm, focus, and
down right power. If your hand movements are sloppy or every person
in the boat is not together
the boat will not move efficiently and you will exhaust your self for no reason. Crew is the kind of sport you really have to be devoted to and practice a LOT.
Bob wakes up early every weekend, and spends 4 hours every day at crew.
When Sally rows she gets the worst
blisters, skin is literally ripped from her hands leaving painful, bleeding open wounds.
Kim
rowed 25,000 meters yesterday on an
erg. Today she can not walk because her legs, back, and arms are so sore.
Phil lost his voice when his
cox box broke and he had to scream calls for the teams entire 3 hour on-the-water practice.
Kevin rowed so hard was over exerted and threw up at the end of the race.
That crew team is more like a family, i wish our soccer team cared about each other and loved their sport as much as those good looking crew kids do. I also wish i had sexy muscular legs and
crazy good endurance like them.
