I woke up this morning with a fierce hangover, and I didn't drink anything last night. Regattas are hard as hell on the body. My whole body aches. I hotseated a race, where you get out of one boat and get directly into the next for another race. My lungs and throat ache, both from rowing and from cheering for our boats. My feet are tender from walking barefoot all day. My head aches from dehydration and from the cold. It rained the entire weekend, just poured. My hands are trashed. I rowed port in my first two races, and starboard in my third. I have blisters coating my palms liberally. I don't have cuticles, I have hangnails, from my hands being soaked for hours. Body is tired. But season is over. Body gets to rest. Brain is sad.
