Here's one thing you need to know about me. I'm competitive. Extremely. To the point where I could possibly be labeled as insane.
I have competed in 15 sports in my 16 years of rowing, and am about to make that 16 this winter when I learn to throw Shotput and Discus.
Right now, I am a rower. If you asked me if I was good, I'd shrug and say depends who I'm racing.
Last year, I was starting my 5th year of competitive Volleyball.
Six years ago, I was starting to learn to ride horses. I rode for two years before I had to stop to take my volleyball career to a new level.
I've done gymnastics, roller hockey, ice hockey, figure skating, soccer, field hockey, lacrosse {boys and girls}, horse back riding, volleyball, swimming, golf, running, rowing, rugby, and water polo.
Yesterday, I had my first ever head race regatta of the fall at our boathouse. We came in seventh in both the fours race and eights race, so I was not very happy with our performace, except for the fact that we beat our rivals {who started a club after being a part of our club, in an attempt to run us to the ground. it failed.}.
I woke up this morning to my mother running through the kitchen to find me with her phone in hand. "Guess what!!!" She screamed. When I asked her what, she handed me her phone and showed me that I was on the top of an article about the regatta in our newspaper {online}. I was not aware of a picture being taken... but at least I know I have a good position... contrary to my teammate sitting in front of me... So for anyone who wants to be a creep and see what I look like, let alone in all my glory halfway through a 4K Race, here's the link and the picture.
