Confessions of an Oarsman

Night before

Calm before the storm

Training is done. Our equipment is set. The technical focuses are set. We’ve rehearsed, and rehearsed, and rehearsed the race-plan.

Finals are tomorrow, at 12:55. Launch time is 12:00. We’ll race in lane 6.

We’re ranked 5th.

Our goal is top 3.

That’s it.

I love how sports can reduce everything to such simplicity.

1:01 pm, tomorrow…
