Rowing!

I fully acknowledge that I am NOT a morning person. However, there is something very refreshing and satisfying about being awake when the sun rises. I’ve found that I get more done in my days, and also feel a lot healthier.

Today marks my fourth attempt at rowing. So far, I’ve actually been enjoying it a lot. Practices start at 4:30 am, about 3 days a week. We drive out to the river, pull out our 8 person boat, and begin rowing right when the sun is rising. It’s so peaceful to be on the river at that time. The air is crisp and it’s not yet blistering hot out.

This Saturday is our first big race against Westville campus in Durban. I’m excited about it, but I feel NO WHERE comfortable with my stroke yet to be in a race. I guess we’ll just see how it goes!

All I’m hoping is that it doesn’t start at 4:30am……
