The most phisically demanding sport, you will ever encounter. It's hard, exhausting and makes you feel like you want to collapse. Rowers get up every morning at 6 to go out in the freezing cold weather to row with there 'pogies'. Even in 12 degree weather, they walk around in a one piece lycra and a spandex top. During winter training, rowers train inside doing runs, circuits, weights and ergos which normally consist of 2k, 5k and the dreaded 30 minutes. 30 minutes are dread awful. It's hard to describe the pain of 30 minutes but most rowers are crying by halfway. Rowing is the greatest dport ever. Admit it. It's true.

A sport commonly known to gods, or elite athletes. where depending on the boat size; 8 lunatics pull on a levered ore to feel the excruciating pain flow through their forearms and thighs. A sport where mental strength is the key to winning. And taking one stroke off, would be giving up and surrendering to the other "crews."

A sport where people race boats backwards on water. It is arguably the most physically intense sport out there; it is not for the weak.

Rowing is the only sport to originate as a form of capital punishment. I still can't figure out why I like it so much.

The sport that consists of 1 to 8 people in which you row a boat with one oar each. It is extremely difficult and takes lots of different abilities. Most people think it involves only arms, which is so far from the truth. Most of the terminology can be related to sex, like the cox, crabs, and phrases like "In rowing, the catch is aggressive, the hands quick, the slide smooth, the drive powerful, and the oar is always hard." It is mainly a collegiate sport, but has been practiced around the world for ages.

The hardest sport. EVER. Much harder than swimming. But normally done by hotties.
