Anonymous asked: I hope this doesn't fall under the weight/height thing :L I would freaking love to make a national team, but people keep telling me I'm to skinny to hold that amount of muscle. I'm about 40 seconds off the qualifying time, but I'm nearly 16. I was wondering if you think my figure would effect my times?

They have caused me to go home in tears several tmes. They make crew so un fun. I used to look...

Anonymous asked: I am a part time cox. When I cox however, I have trouble talking to the rowers, and they like the coxswains to be talking all the time. I usually cox bow loaded 4+ so I can't comment to much on their technique, and the wiring in the 4+'s is funky so i don't get the time or stroke rate so I can't comment on that either, and I don't want to repeat myself over and over and...
