stake boating tomorrow and i’m kind of excited about it.
more like 996 miles. we had some of our best rowing in clemson. as a team we worked hard and i had so many personal breakthroughs. i’m still so mad about the fact that my boat doesn’t have an event to race in on saturday. i work my ass of to be in the top boat and though i’m not for this race i will be soon. i’ll show everyone. i surprised myself this morning because even though i like to pretend i’m tough and will try even harder when someone tells me i’ve failed, i usually break down and let it get to me. i’ve worked too hard theses past two weeks to let this get to me. since coach told us this morning, i’ve been angry and it’s fueling my fire. i killed my erg piece and got so much shit done today because i’m so focused. i deserve that seat and i will get it.
clemson here we come!
i haven’t updated in a while because this week has been crazy!
my coach didn’t let me do my 2k because he said i still wasn’t well enough.
yesterday we loaded boats and went for a longgggg run.
today we did the usual friday routine and i should be packing but i’m just sitting in my room too excited to go on spring break. we’re leaving soon and i couldn’t be more excited. the bus ride is going to be torture but whateverrrrr!
ONE DAY UNTIL WE ARE FINALLY IN CLEMSON FOR SPRING TRAINING!
today was amazing. i got to practice like i always do and to boathouse was locked and coded like it usually is. as more girls started to arrive and we stood out in the cold we wished our coach would come soon. i got a call from my coach and he asked if i was at the boathouse and when i said yes he replied with, i knew you would be. being early to everything is something i’ve always done and will always do. i like to be punctual and show that i am dedicated. i never thought my coach noticed things like these but apparently he did. maybe him calling me meant nothing other than he knew that he would be late and just wanted to call one person to open the boathouse but i would like to think that he trusts me and appreciates the fact that i am always on time. though i was not feeling the greatest today i did the steady state, listened to the corrections that the assistant coaches and coxswains had for me and got through it. we have our first 2k tomorrow and though i will not be racing at my full intensity, i want to post a number just to know that i can.
4 days until spring training!
today the team did 500s so they could prepare like they have been for weeks now for their 2k on wednesday. the first time we tried this piece, i got hurt. today i did the workout at the same volume but not the same intensity as the team. i want to at least put numbers up on the board for out first 2k even though it probably won’t be good/what i want. i’ve come to accept the fact that i won’t be back to where i was by the time we go on spring break but i’m getting closer and right now i can only treat my body well and work as hard as i can to get back there.
5 days until spring training!
today i’m resting, hydrating and doing homework just like every other sunday. i’m also packing for spring training and making sure that i have everything that i need prepared.
6 days until spring training.
i remember when there was 60 days until spring training…i am so happy we are down to less than a week.
today i was able to finally do the same workout as the team again. granted, it was not at the splits that they were doing and i was also on sliders but i was happy to be working just as hard as them again!
ONE WEEK UNTIL SPRING TRAINING!
although we couldn’t go outside again today it didn’t matter. we put int he work and though we might not have been getting faster we kept the intensity up anyway. soon enough we will be in the water in beautiful, sunny clemson.
8 days until spring training!
today was rough. 30, 30, 30 but i got through it and i did it with the team so i feel good!
9 days until spring training!
