As Emily said, it's ...Hey, thanks for the mention. As Emily said, it's always great to see another rowing blog out there.<BR/><BR/>I started Launch Exhaust as a way to communicate with my crews, but its become a vehicle for my own thoughts on all sort of subjects as time has gone on. I usually put more rowing posts on as the season goes on; winter training isn't the time to try and get crews jacked up.<BR/><BR/>I was very happy with the Pitt lights last weekend because of the challenges they've had to overcome this spring. What we call "Asian bird flu" (not really) has been knocking off athletes for weeks at a time. Because Pitt only has 4 light women, when one gets sick, the boat sits in the rack. <BR/><BR/>This last week has been quite a challenge, with only two practice days due to illness. I'm hoping the weekend will help the girls kick this thing. Knecht cup next weekend will be another tough race, and they're hoping to build toward a great performance at Vails.<BR/><BR/>Great blog, keep it up! Lightweight rowing is great fun to coach and watch, because not everyone can be a knuckle-dragging heavyweight thug like I was.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.com
