TG's Rowing Thread

You aren't off the team. You just don't make your boat. So they put you in a heavier boat, which usually isn't as good because you aren't in the boat that you have practiced with so you don't have your technique, pattern, or timing right.

Well conditioning isn't much fun, but when we actually start practice it should be. From everything I heard, conditioning sucks but everything else is fun.... if you survive conditioning.

Poor TG

Omg! I am soooo pissed off! I am GAINING WEIGHT! How does that happen?!?! I'm working so hard to lose it, and yet I gain it. Because of muscle. Grr... I'm never gonna be able to make light weight

Drinking water?
If so, dont drink too much cuz the amount of water you drink, you gain that much.
its wierd, but thats how it was for wrestling and i almost didnt make weight.

But then I get dehydrated and pass out and get yelled at.

I don't think I'm drinking too much though.... idk.

Drinking water is good, it flushes your body of impurities, it just makes you go to the bathroom more when you increase the amount. I was never a big water drinker, since it had a problem with retaining water, but I now drink at least 4 24-oz bottles of purified water daily, and I find it does not make me retain more fluid! I keep a bottle with me all the time. To save money, over buying bottled water, I bought a Aquasana Water filter and fill my own bottle. They recommend 8 8-oz glasses of water per day.

Another thing to drink is Gatorade G2 (low calories), it replenishes your body of electrolytes and helps in many ways.

My dad was a wrestling coach, and it made my mom so mad at the crap my dad put his guys through to make weight. In his last years of being a high school coach, he was more careful and did not force players to make a weight class that was a threat to their health. This was due to him getting more masters degree classes in coaching and the health of a wrestler (and also baseball players). He was totally dedicated to his athletes and sports was his life!

Gatorade is all well and good but water is still the best bet. Even with G2, you still get 100 calories a bottle, 440! mg. of sodium, and 28! g of sugar. Water gives you all 0's.

Good Luck TG

I tend to drink gatorade. Water is better for you, but I need the suger. My blood sugar gets extremely low during practice and if I don't drink something with sugar it gets extremely low and I can't work out.

Hope you make weight

Thanks

I can't wait till rowing tomorrow.
It hurts so bad, But I love the people. They are all awesome.

And I really wanna talk to Zack...!

TG gonna row, row, row her boat, to catch up to Zach!

:haha:

No conditioning today. But we have to be up at the school at 6:15 to tell 8th graders to join rowing and blah, blah, blah. It'll prolly be really boring so I'll just talk to people the whole time.

Maybe Zack will be there, because he doesn't have football conditioning (which my school already started) today.

So we have a rowing fundraiser tonight. Which is really dumb because nobody that has a boyfriend/girlfriend will show up on valentines day. I'm going because my friends are forcing me to.... but it's at 10:00 tonight, and it's bowling. We r playing three games, so it's gonna go pretty late. And I'm not even bowling, so I'll just be sitting there talking to people the whole time.

Depending on who shows up it could be fun, or not fun at all.

At least you have any sort of plans for tonight.
Valentines Day fucking suckz.
This weeek has just been at its ultimate worst.

I hate valentine's day. Last year I broke up with my boyfriend on valentines day.... And this year I have sat at home all day.

But I guess you're right, at least I have something to do later.

Im gonna sit at home and watch Step Brothers and Pineapple Express. The girl I wanted to hang out with had plans, and I guess Im still upset over Papa being gone.

Did she haves plans with just friends or a different guy?

And Oh, I'm sorry
