Rowing

So, last week was the last week of the first part of my learn to row program, and we had a short race on the last night. (We will not speak about how annoyed I am about several terrible strokes---I "caught a crab" (or more than one), which means my oar was pulled way under the water and kind of got stuck (because I didn't square the blade soon enough). I have no idea why it's called a crab, but my current theory is that it's because it makes me crabby.)

Anyway, the video is naturally on youtube, right here.

I'm in the bow (front, in the direction of motion) of the right-most boat, but fortunately you can only see me for a couple of seconds (towards the end).
