SPORT: Want to improve your pulling power?
Monday, November 2nd, 2009
“Rowing is a sport for dreamers. As long as you put in the work, you can own the dream, when the work stops, the dream disappears” – James Dietz
Indeed, the university rowing is built on the premise of dreams. No other sport at Queen’s allows you to show up at try-outs with no previous experience and become a potential part of an Olympic racing team! The Queen’s team training is intensive. During the cold winter months a Queen’s rower is expected to rise six out of seven mornings to perform cardio-vascular activities; alternatively, if they are not to be found pumping away in the PEC, they are pushing their bodies to unknown boundaries on the water. Other students sometimes find it a personal achievement to rise before eleven and make it to class on time.
