So today was a bit unfortunate...
Again realized (with much more clarity) that I am THE worst one here...Did a 1minute erg piece to measure watts aka how much energy you can produce with about 40 strokes... which I have never, ever done before. And of course, because I tried to pull so fast/hard without much skill, I fell off my erg. That's right. I fell off. And ruined my test. Which they let me do over, and I got the lowest score, partly because I was afraid of falling off again and went slower, and partly because I am just not that gifted. Tant pis.
Oh also, went out in a double (2 people with 2 oars each skulling, while I usually am in an 8 person boat with only one oar to manage) and made a complete fool of myself in front of the head coach, oh, 1 or 2 or 400 times. Nearly flipped us over, a lot. but didn't, hurrah!
I get to have dinner with D tomorrow night, my teammate Whitney Wednesday, my coaches will be coming up soon, and I leave Saturday. I miss every part of my life that doesn't involve rowing right now.
