So.
So.
Turns out concussions take a lot longer to recover from than previously thought. It also turns out that symptoms can arise while you’re living in the middle of the woods on a trail crew causing you to faint like 3 times.
Because I’m still not over my head injury, my family, my coach and I have decided that it’s probably not best for me to return to rowing in the next few years. It hurts to say that because rowing has been such a huge part of my life since I was 12 years old, and it hurts to leave such a sport behind. I learned so much in my 4 years as a rower, lessons that I will never forget. However, some of these lessons, particularly the “don’t stop even if it hurts” one eventually almost caused me physical harm (almost falling off a cliff because you’re about to faint really puts some things into perspective).
I spent many formative years of my life as a rower, but it’s time for me to move on to other activities that will help me both properly recover and grow. I’m still planning on being physically active, absolutely, but in a way that I can go at my own pace without worrying that I’m letting my teammates down. I’ve always been much better at running than I have at rowing, so I’m going to pursue that in a way that I couldn’t really when I was rowing. I’ve signed myself up for a few road races, and I’m going to train in ways that are much better for me as a person.
So here’s to my rowing years. They were difficult times. Days when it was so foggy that I couldn’t see the stern and my fingers had lost all feeling, icicles hanging from the riggers. The times I completely bombed my erg tests. The time I had a weight coach tell me I couldn’t lift a certain weight “because I was a girl” (still pissed abt that btw). But for all those tough moments, there were some absolutely beautiful, amazing, hilarious moments I will never forget. My first sunrise row. The first time I swamped a boat. The first time I completed a 10k on the erg. The time I pr’d on my 2k by 14 seconds. Celebrating my first gold at my very first regatta with my team, and later gold at NW Regionals. Laughing, crying, bleeding and puking with my team, my family. Way, way too many beautiful moments to count.
Though I may have put down an oar for the last time, I will always be a rower at heart. And to all the new rowers out there who are just starting out their journey into this crazy difficult, beautiful, wonderful, amazing sport; I have just one thing to say: never weigh enough.
Love, row-like-a-girl (aka Sid)
P.S. I’m not leaving this blog behind! Probably going to change a few things up, and ofc different content! It’s going to be a lot more running and general-fitness oriented, but I’ll still be around :)
When you get a little bit ahead, it’s all too easy to become complacent and to quickly lose what you have gained.
Coaches be like:
ok now where is my lesbian sports anime ??
basketball? swimming? figure skating? goddamn tennis?? volleyball? cheerleading? gymNASTICS?¿¿??? mma!?
do i hear bowling?? snowboarding??? rowing aka CREW???!???
softball? fuICKNG GIMME AN ALL GIRLS BASEBALL ANIME oR EVEN SOCCER/FOOTBALL/WHATEVERRTHEHELL .
like…….. WHERE ?!?? do i gotta make it myself or..?
Based on personal experience a lesbian/not straight crew drama about a coxswain and a rower would be totally accurate.
I would watch the shit out of a lesbian rowing anime.

Why would anyone chose to row
why would anyone chose to row
why would anyone chose to put themselves through such brutality
who would dare put themselves in a position where all their mental and physical ability
stretches its limits every single day
it takes a certain type of person to go out and face their biggest challenges every single day.
it takes a certain type of person to feel a burning in their lungs and breaking pain in their back but continue to give every last bit of themselves until the very last stroke.
it takes a certain type of person to take extreme pain and harness it into something they can use to finish out the job.
why would anyone put themselves through such torture
the heart pounds into the body like a sledgehammer
the lungs gasp at any air they can reach
the legs scorch as they are driven off the foot board
the back is lit with an invisible flame with every pull
old blisters and wounds rip open with every twist
it takes a certain type of person to have their bodies shut down and still continue on
to see their own blood drip down on the oar handles
to have pain invade every part of them and know that they don’t ever give enough
until they cannot physically move.
rowers don’t stop
stopping means ending
they’d let themselves down, the boat down, and the coaches down
all of the harsh training would equal nothing
rowers put in work most people would run away from
rowers chose to endure pain that most others would fall apart at
the ability to give up is easy
in the middle of a piece the rower can easily put down the handle
and just walk way
leaving all of the hard work, effort and time, stilly sitting on the seat of the erg
every rower knows they can quit
but most do not
so why would anyone want to row
a sport were lactic acid is man’s best friend
gouging blisters become a normality
and the constant pain is a constant reality
pain is measured only by what the body can feel
but not what it can endure.
pain will never get in the way of what the rower can accomplish
no matter how much the pain will scream that it is a roadblock to the path of victory.
a rower does not leave a piece until they have given everything they got to the erg or the boat
it’s not optional
it’s what is expected of them
and the expectations provided are only the foundation on what the rower can achieve
it is that need to dump every hour of work into one seven minute race
all the pain, the blood, sweat and tears
to achieve everything the rower has worked for.
until that bow crosses that finish line the rowers do not stop working,
stop believing and stop fighting
to receive so rightfully what they deserve
not one person knows the feel of victory
until they can see it’s brutal marks made on their hands
feel it roar through every muscle fiber
inhale it sharply by each lung
feel it trickle down all parts of their skin
and taste it’s dryness it their mouths
whether the rower set a personal record on their two kilometer test
or won the gold metal in the olympics
all victory tastes the same
harsh, brutal but rewarding
so why would anyone chose to row?
because everyday rowers get to crush their biggest fears
rowers get to hold victory’s hand everyday
and there is nothing better than that

crew gothic:
You have another hour of practice, you will always have another hour of practice
no one knows how long the old man who fixes the equipment has been there…and neither do the coaches
am I actually injured or just overworked
bow pair doesn’t remember the last time they rowed a boat back to the docks, actually they don’t remember the last time they rowed
if you didn’t hear it, it didn’t happen
Going deep into the rowing/autumn/preppy aesthetic with this one.
