Crew

Both my Dad and I rowed on the Oregon State Crew team, but we have never rowed together. Thus, for my Dad's birthday this last December, I called the new Women's coach at OSU and asked if we could get on a boat together and she said YES!

Last weekend, both my folks and I went to Corvallis for a night to row and to enjoy the cute town. It was incredible to get back on the boat. I was nervous if I would be ale to remember the stroke, but it was like riding a bike - it all came back to me. Some of the calls were different, but we managed to get by.

When we first got the boat, it was snowing, and as soon as we pushed off the dock it was beautiful and sunny the whole way. On the row, we did many similar excersizes that I did when I was on the team, for instance we did a few starts, power 10's, and other fun stuff that pushed my dad.

Here are a few photos.
