Time to race


On the 8th I leave for Melbourne, Florida with the rest of the rowing team. We are doing a lame indoor race on the rowing machines- pretty much like having a marathon on treadmills. I'll be doing 1000 meters in about four minutes. Melbourne is four hours from Miami, and I'm not waking up at 4 AM, so we're going to leave tomorrow afternoon to a hotel.

Here is the link: http://www.southernsprints.org/ I won't be telling you which person I am, but I'm doing High School Novice Men, event 35. (NOTE: Our times are BSed. Coach made us look slower. The time next to mine isn't even a 1000 meter time, it's a 2000.)

I hope to not suck too badly, the coaches tell me I shouldn't do too bad. I am not going to win, there are some god-like rowers out there.

By the rote mastery of this art, your firing efficiency will rise by no less than 120%. The difference of a 63% increase to lethal proficiency makes the master of the gun katas an adversary not to be taken lightly.

Wrestling is lame and fencing isn't? Wrestling is fuckin amazing, and it's almost exactly like boxing, except it's less about speed, and more about technique (IMO much more skill is involved, as opposed to boxing where natural size plays a factor). Chess is good, but it's a god damn activity, so it's not in the same class. And rowing sounds awesome, I'd join if my school had one. Of course, they're nothing compared to hockey and rugby

BTW chess and paintballing aren't sports.

Oh ya, GL Aztec. Must blow to row on a machine rather than outside.

hey if your good at crew you automattically get into harvard. My brothers roomate in Highschool had like 1280 SAT scores and a 3.5 GPA and he got into Harvard because he was really good at rowing a damn boat!!! So anway crew is a good sport to make connections, its right up there with gold, and tennis. Very important sports to the business world.
