Walking like an idiot now.

Andy's squats are really... challenging... both during the exercise and days after.

First sea rowing with safsa today. And how memorable... I broke a pedal.

Was rowing happily, then tried some hard strokes... then I heard a sickening "crunch" followed very quickly by a "snap"... and thought "Oh my god... did my arm just break?!"

Then I saw that I was now rowing with a short wooden stick.

So that makes 4 paddles that I've broken in my lifetime. Highscore anyone?

Jackson was like "bring it home as a souvineer!"

But then I thought... hrm... broken wooden object in my room = mom will either fuss or throw it away. Tho kinda sad to have it thrown away now that he put it like that.

Quite worried about how the team will do for races at the current state that its in. Alot of rowers with no experience... from what I estimate... only 7-15% have rowing background. The rest have to train up in the little time they have... some 6 months, maybe 1 year.

But I have high hopes for them.

Kinda disturbing hearing off the bad relationships between safsa and the national team. Once again I'm caught in some cross fire.

Whatever it is, I don't carry that kind of weight around. They'll understand that soon enough.
