Crew

ahhh the ejoyment of rowing it is one of the few things that actually makes me happy when people think of rowing they think of some guy with two oars and a little row boat. but the realiuty is that rowing is one of the most competetive sports in the world it is a physical and mental challenge and if your looking for a free ticket into college this is the sport is your best bet. Some of the top schools in the world are known for there rowing like have you ever heard of harvard or oxford? For me though rowing starts right in the estuary with the oakland strokes which i am curently signing up for. Go strokes! But there is a long story behing that i used to be on another team a long time ago in another galaxy but im not going into detail about that whole story.                                                                                                                                                      But how i got into crew is another story i went to a meeting at the beggining of the year for school they had a stand at my high school and i was interested so went to one meeting and it clicked i wanted to play it is one of the few things that still makes me happy these days. It is also one of the most physically demanding  water sports out there wich makes it easy since i live right next to the bay awsome sauce, but im still waiting and yearning for the time when i finish signing up for the strokes one day.

    Watch out for those callouses, though. :)
