" There isn't a word that can justly describe rowing; "great" doesn't cut it and neither does "awesome". Life changing, however; is very close. It's not just a sport it's an outlet for pain through pain. It is a teacher of discipline and determination, it takes you to your breaking point and then pushes you further. It teaches you to bend rather than snap, it marries grace & power, it makes you stronger, it gives you a family, it is your sanctuary and your second home. When you're rowing well and hard, the rhythm of the stroke takes over. It drives your days and restores your nights. It imparts cadence and direction. You feel like you and the boat are one, you feel that no obstacle will put up any more resistance than the water does to your oars, you feel that hard work, grit and mental toughness will always win it for you in the end."
