Blog Day 1

I have decided to document my trials and tribulations with the adventure of becoming a technical and efficient rower. I will give a short history of my background in the sport of rowing and the future path I hope to follow in following posts.

I also feel that if I write my thoughts/plans/dreams down where I can visually see it then I have more probability and accountability in following through with it.
