Rowing - Stockton on Tees

Caio Amicos!

Firstly, sorry I haven't posted in a ridiculously long time. I've been very busy! 

So, recently I have been rowing, a lot, and so, I have decided to share with you my favorite race of recent times! 

I was actually really not looking forward to this race, mostly because I had been put in a single and i was, well to be honest, shitting it. I was completely terrified and considering I was racing against some of my best friends such as Sarah Smiles it was really not something I was looking forward to.

Regardless, I went along and had probably the best time ever and it was probably my favorite rowing race ever!

Here are some piccys of the day, as you can see it was very sunny! Yay!

This is the painful course! SO LOOONNNG!

So some of us decided this was a pregnant woman, or a bird, or wonky boobs, yes we are strange :)

There I am! (on the left) This is when I was in super panic mode and my dad tried to take a picture but I didn't notice! Hence why i'm not smiling and Dominique is!

Oh look who it is! Miss Sarah Smiles ! :) Haha!

Ohhh, Isn't this creative!

 YAYYYYYY! SILVER! 

As you can tell it was very hot and we all got very sunburned that day, but it was a GOOD day and I would do it again in an instant!

In my opinion, Everyone needs somewhere to escape, and for me this is rowing. As much as the coack is a plonker and the pressure is enormous, I just don't know what i would do without it, its like a place to get away from anxiety and school and it just makes me happy (mostly). This is almost completely down to my friends and the fact that, well, I love it!

So overall stats were.....

                      

Single Heat- 1st

Single Final- 2nd

Four Heat- We didn't do this and skipped straight it the final

Four Final- 2nd

Do you have somewhere you can escape?

Thanks for reading!

Caio!
