My new unisuit is supposed to arrive within the next week. SO. EXCITED.
Awwwwwwww, I just realised what my club has listed me under in its member’s list for announcements. I’ve been stupidly wondering for a while what HPW meant. High Performance Women! Shucks guys. Even though I don’t train as an elite it’s nice that they regard me as a somewhat committed novice and notice me there a lot. I finally feel like I’m settling in.

Sleepy and doing assignments.
(via rowthatway)
Did 140kg (308lbs) leg press this morning after a 30min ergo, boo yah!
Good leg press amount for a girl rower?

Can anyone recommend which universities in the UK have the best boat clubs out of these? Or just generally good to go on exchange to.
- Royal Holloway, University of London
- University of Birmingham
- University of Manchester
- University of Edinburgh
- University of Exeter
- University of Sussex
- University of Glasgow
- University of Leeds
- University of Nottingham
- University of Sheffield
Instead of doing my assignment that’s due on Monday, I’ve spent the last two hours choosing a university to do exchange at based on what their boathouse looks like.
