Run 7 miles before school, 7 after. We do erging a lot. Lots of push-ups. And don't even get me started on how our spring break is going to be. Thats why you better hope you have friends, otherwise you will NOT survive.

that REALLY sounds like the Army!

Yup. It does. Practice and conditioning are hard. But I have a lot of friends and it is a lot of fun at the regattas and stuff. Although from what I have heard, the regattas also suck because rowing HURTS, BADLY. But you can only be in 2 boats per day, and they are like 5 minute races. So as soon as the race is over you are done, until the next one.

crazy good!

The football coaches say that our practice is a lot harder than the football practice and conditioning.

yay GIRLS!!!

Our teams are guys ang girls. Like, practice and conditioning and all that is done together. We have to row different boats. Like, there is a girls 8 and a guys 8... and I'm not listing all the rest because that would take way too long.

screw that ..i aint doing that

I run about 6 a day for cross country. we run 6 miles eeveryday to run a 3 mile race once or twice a week. Its all good though. Gotta love it.

Just enjoy it..in about 10 years it will be harder and harder to do...

I know. But there are like some 70 year old dudes that can still run really good.

that's cause they're retired and have lots of spare time!

I dont care. They shouldnt be running better than me.

And thats why you aren't a rower.
Nobody that ever says I can't can be. Because if you are like oh I can't run these miles then you convince yourself that you can't.

The part that sucks most - you wake up at 3:30 every morning. Earlier when we have out of town (canada mostly) regattas.

That made me sound like a bitch. Sorry

ya i would do the miles..but our school or any other schools in our district or even city has a rowing team.

No we dont. I swear there are hardly any schools in the state that have one.

We have to go about a half hour to get to where we row every morning and night for practice. We have quite a few teams in Michigan, and then we travel for our different regattas (cometitions)

Traveling is nothing new to me. We have been on the road quite a bit this year. But its all good, the bus rides are awesome. The people make it fun, and we just have a blast.

ya for football we travel alot to.... the max we have had to be ina bus was like a hour and a half

ya get 2 know each other REALLY well!

Its a bad thing in football.

In XC it rockz! The bus rides are amazing!

We leave at 2:30 in the morning a lot of the time. So that gets us there at 7:30. The tents and boats are already there because they send parents the day before. Then we just have to unload the boats and stuff. Then of course we have to weigh in to make sure we make our boats. And usually we are either there for a whole weekend or the entire day that day. Leaving at about 9 then traveling the 5 hours back.

wow i definitly wouldnt do tht...

I would just stay up until the bus ride, then sleep on the bus...
