My advice to someone who wants to pick up rowing is simple: start sculling, row a single, and constantly race people who suck.<BR/><BR/>This way you can retain your autonomy and cut practice short when you feel like it, and you access the one fun part of rowing--winning--as much as possible.Natehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08873187420072065718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4262701429517460610.post-25202344732540403692008-04-29T04:48:00.000-07:002008-04-29T04:48:00.000-07:00...so what is your advice for someone who wants to......so what is your advice for someone who wants to pick up rowing?<BR/><BR/>And, I completely agree with D, your writing is great and your blog an enjoyable read.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03893355042233902846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4262701429517460610.post-85276642432867732052008-04-28T17:05:00.000-07:002008-04-28T17:05:00.000-07:00d- thanks! and of course, thanks for reading.sam- ...d- thanks! and of course, thanks for reading.<BR/><BR/>sam- not bad.

It's as if you recorded my thoughts while rowing and then wrote them down.<BR/><BR/>I used to try to predict how many more strokes before we stopped or turned around, and then I would count down from there.<BR/><BR/>One summer at camp I remember being capable of predicting how far we were from the dock to within 2 or 3 stokes at the end of every practice.Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08816718516778442841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4262701429517460610.post-34655204125723489912008-04-26T21:27:00.000-07:002008-04-26T21:27:00.000-07:00This is your best writing yet in this blog.
