  1. no matter what sport you participate in, it is only as hard as you (or your coach) makes it. Rowing, in particular, brings something out of people that cant be measured. After 10 months of grueling, agonizing conditioning, two - three practices a day 6 days a week, you compete in 1 - 4 races, all about 6 minutes long. You train 1000 hours for up to 24 minutes of racing, 6 of which is finals. In most sports, the competitor works to their limit, and then they have to slow down, jog, walk, stop, or collapse. In an Eight, however, everything is different. No matter how tired you are, no matter how exhausted the entire boat is, nobody can change pace. Nobody can stop. Nobody can collapse.

    I dont know where you go to school, but up in New England, rowing is often the king sport at college. Harvard, yale, duke, princeton, cornell, cambrige, oxford, all have Rowing where as Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi all have their Football teams. When I finish school, I will have been a 7 year captain rower.

    any questions, feel free to ask...


  2. Honestly puking during any practice is common if you work hard enough!  I play water polo and thats a combination of wrestling, swimming and survival.  

    I will not doubt that crew is hard but anything can be hard if you work hard enough at it :-)

  3. cricket

  4. well for independent sports swimming is the most muscle working sport....it works almost every muscle you have in your body..........

  5. i heard about this thing yestarday. it's called adventure racing. a few people i know have entered a race in september. it sounds so hard. it's about 90km altogether and involves (or was it miles?) running, cycling, kayaking, swimming. the race they're in goes up croke patrick and there's many a story of people collapsing in agony. it's been described as walking through the aftermath of a bombing
