always inward

"Rowing a race is an art, not a frantic scramble.  It must be rowed with head power as well as hand power.  From the first stroke all thoughts of the other crew must be blocked out.  Your thoughts must be directed to you and your own boat, always positive, never negative." - George Yeoman Pocock, from The Boys in the Boat

Whether rowing or running, whether a race or executing a workout, an inward focus is always needed.

wanna be startin' somethin'

Time to get it going again...we talkin' about practice!

REMINDER - submit Teamworks COVID self-check prior to leaving apt/dorm; arrive at locker room for COVID temp check between 6:00-6:15 AM.

Whatever the fall season has in store for us, everybody gets better!  Day by day, week by week, and month by month.  The road to improvement is often not a straight line.  There will be ups and downs, individually and as a team.  But together, focused on our core values, we will forge a path upwards.  Those values can be found at the top of the blog and at the end of the each blog post.

Always...TEAM > TEAMMATE > SELF...and remember, iron sharpens iron!

Our efforts this week, while moving our aerobic fitness forward, will also serve as a gauge on where everyone is at as we start the fall semester.  This will help us shape our training going forward.  The first effort will be a structured cut-down run and the second will be lactate shuttle fartlek.
