2013 09 24 THE ART OF ROWING

ONE OF THE PERKS OF ROWING IS BEING ABLE TO WITNESS SOME OF THE NATURAL PAINTINGS FROM THE SKY.  NO NEED TO DODGE TREES, OR STAND ON TOP OF THE BUILDING IN ORDER TO GET THE FULL VIEW.  ALL WE HAD TO DO WAS GLIDE ON THE WATER, AND FEEL THE SLIGHT BREEZE WHILE STARING INTO THE OPEN SPACE ABOVE US, WITH THE CANVAS AS THE SKY ITSELF.

THIS WAS DEFINITELY ONE OF THE VISUAL TREASURED MOMENTS DURING PRACTICE.

2012 10/7 FOOD FINDS: COCO CAFE WITH COCONUT WATER

THIS IS DIFFERENT. DIFFERENT BEING THAT I'VE NEVER COME ACROSS THIS UNTIL TODAY.  CAFE LATTE ESPRESSO/COCONUT WATER @ TARGET FOR $2.29.  I GENERALLY DRINK THE PINEAPPLE COCONUT WATER BY VITA BECAUSE IT IS THE CLOSEST FLAVORED COCONUT DRINK THAT I LIKE AND ONLY DRINK THESE BEFORE A REGATTA TO HYDRATE.  

NEVER DO I DRINK BOOZE THE NIGHT B4, NOR COFFEE THE MORNING OF TO PREVENT FROM INCHING TO THE DEHYDRATION SIDE.  BUT THIS CAFE/COCONUT WATER IS DEFINITELY FOR PRE-NON REGATTA TIMES.


THE DRINK IS KINDA LIGHT, NOTED THAT IT IS GLUTTON FREE.
SORTA TASTE LIKE LIGHT SWEET MOCHA WITH SOY MILK.

2012 09 23 THE ART OF ROWING!

IS THERE A PERFECT ROWER? NO FEEDBACK AS OF YET. RUSHING TOWARDS THE CATCH? I THINK I HEARD HANGING AT THE CATCH TOO.  BUT I STILL CANT FIX THE HANDLE HEIGHT AT THE CATCH!  PERFECTIONIST IS JUST SOOO OVER RATED!

DOES THIS LOOK VISUALLY CALMING?  

OH IT IS SOOOOO NOT!
FIGHTING FOR EACH PERFECT STROKE WE GO!

2012 07 28 FLASHBACK FIERCE ROWING @ HALIFAX RACE

GETTING CLOSER TO THE END OF THE YEAR FOR ME ALSO MEANS RE-EVALUATING MY PLANS FOR NEXT SEASON.  ON ANOTHER NOTE, THE MOST RECENT RACE IN JULY WAS THANKFULLY DOCUMENTED WITH A NIKON D7000.  BAD ASS BACK SPLASHES AND BAD HABITS ARE NOTED IN THE PHOTOS BELOW.  LOL.  OVERALL A KICK ASS SEASON FOR A YEAR OF ENDLESS CHANGES HENCE MAKING US ATTEMPT TO UNITE MORE AS A TEAM.  

THREE YEARS OF WAKING UP BEFORE 4AM AS A NON MORNING PERSON TO PRACTICE WITH A COMPETITIVE GROUP HAS DEFINITELY MADE ME QUESTION WHAT I HAVE SET MYSELF UP FOR.  BUT WITH THIS, CAME THE DISCOVERY  OF MEETING A BUNCH OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME MENTALITY THAT IS ESSENTIAL FOR THIS SPORT AS WELL MY PERSONAL "EVERYDAY" ATTITUDE WITH LIFE IN GENERAL.
