• It is a feeling not felt in any other sport

  Crew

  27 April 2007

  Crew, otherwise known as rowing, is a sport that looks graceful from the shore, but for the rowers in the racing shell, on the water, crew is, arguably, the most physically and mentally challenging sport. The endurance, mindset, and muscle needed to last a 2000 or 5000 meter race is unbeaten. And the rush felt while on the water by either a rower or a coxswain is unmet. It’s as if what is happening in the shell is the only thing that matters; it is pure and calming, though painful and demanding at the same. It is a feeling not felt in any other sport. It is blood, sweat, and tears. It is grace. It is...my Lovemark.
