ROWING!!

I started rowing in June and I absolutely love it. Not only is
it great exercise, but it is also a lot of fun. To be completely
honest, I did not like it at first. It was hard and it was really
difficult to catch on to. But once you get the hang of it, it is
so nice to be out on the water.

Below is the picture of me just having completed my first
race. BRUTAL! I was hurting. It was soooo much harder
than I ever imagined it to be. You are using all of your leg,
arm and stomach muscles, full force for like 5 minutes non
stop. It may not sound that long, but it definitely is so
intense.

Below, the picture is of us rowing out to the start line. I am
the third from the back. 3C, Starboard. That is my official
title!

For those of you thinking of ever getting into rowing, I
definitely recommend it. Such a great experience.

Holy...you're gonna be super buff now!! I always wanted to try rowing but living in the desert I doubt I'll get to do it any time soon!!! Is this something you're gonna do full time? Like in the winter, train with your team?

Very fun. I think if I took that up I'd actually have some sort of arm strength.
