bored rowers since 9-18-2011

…you schedule your life around your practices.

YKYRW just got 100 followers! You know what that means…team picture time!

Unfortunately, I haven’t been at practice since Tuesday, so the next time I have practice, I’ll make sure to get a picture. Thanks so much for following, guys!

…you schedule doctor’s appointments during school because you cannot miss practice.

…you don’t know what to do with yourself when practice is cancelled.

What kinds of food do you guys eat before/after practice?

…sick days make you feel guilty not because you miss school/work, but because you miss conditioning.

…non-rowers don’t understand why you’re excited for six-day-a-week, three-hour-long practices, but you are.

…you only get about 4 hours of sleep but you’re energetic every practice.

…when you come back from holiday, you’re more excited for training than you are for your own bed.

…after a really fulfilling practice you go home and want to tell everyone, but no one will understand.
