The One I Didn’t Want to Write

I don't want to write this post. I don't want to, and I haven't wanted to since NSR 1 finished up on Saturday morning. I've had a lot of dark and complicated emotions in the past 48 hours, and I haven't wanted to articulate them. I even thought, I don't have to write about it. I … Continue reading The One I Didn’t Want to Write

2014 World Championships

We've closed the door on the 2014 World Championships and are headed home. This year's regatta was very different from any other Worlds regatta that I've raced, and as I mentioned in my last post, a lot of being a competitor in Amsterdam this year was taking the good with the bad. We had a … Continue reading 2014 World Championships

We have pretty much picked right up with … Continue reading 2014 World Cup II

The Old Dream

Things are starting to happen now that we are here and settled in to Aiguebelette for the second World Cup of 2014.

My First NSR

So, it actually happened. This weekend I competed as a sweep rower at the first National Selection Regatta. This is my fifth NSR1, but my first as a starboard. I have to admit, back in October when I accepted that this was really going to happen, and at some point I was going to get … Continue reading My First NSR

The Last Unicorn

When I was very young, there was only ever one thing that I wanted in the VCR: a 1982 animated film adapted from the book by Peter S. Beagle, The Last Unicorn. My family never actually owned a copy of it, but we may as well have purchased the local library's copy for how often … Continue reading The Last Unicorn
