First day on Novice Row Team - D.C. Strokes

Well. I love rowing. OK, I said it. There's nothing like being on the water, paddling in unison and making your legs work it. And your allergies dissapear when you're on the water. But, before you become a novice with D.C. Strokes, you have to take the Learn-to-Row course. We had a great team there and most of the people on the intro team are here for the novice season, which is great. We miss our coach, Austin, though. You'll love him, too, once you take the Learn to Row course. Hint, hint.
So, we were on the water, rowing the fastest our group has ever rowed before. It was an amazing rush. We were pretty good, too. Not too much shaking from side to side. Bow pair - that's the two seats closest to the bow of the boat - were setting the boat, making sure it remained steady, so the boat would move efficiently. We were doing so well that I hated the thought of not getting some of it, at least, on tape. I still made sure to hold steady!

Here's a couple seconds of our first day as novices at D.C. Strokes:
