I know nothing new has been here for a long time, but that's because we were working on the big site. Now that we actually are starting to get people signed up, I'll start to add some more stuff. We'll mainly use this as the summer approaches and during the summer.
Housing is set: Merrimack College, about 15 minutes from the Essex facility. Nice dorms, cable, probably quads with a central common room and two guys to a room, two-story building. As I know more, I'll let you know. They have a really nice campus center, just a few years old, with cafeteria, gym, pool, ping pong, etc. It's a small school so there's not much to do on campus but that's what the van is for. We'll get lunch and dinner on campus.
If you're reading this, and you're signed up or thinking about signing up, please talk to your friends. We're only taking as many people as are really qualified as we need to but more is always better than less. The first few kids signed up are really solid, so let's keep it up. And look for our ad in Rowing News coming out soon.
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act, but a habit.
"Just as Guerette slips into the water every morning, noon, and night alone, there is a sculler in Belarus working every day to get stronger, faster, and there is one in Bulgaria, and one in Germany, and one in Romania. Guerette knows they are out there, rowing in their isolated stretches of water. Sometimes she wonders what they are doing at the very moment she is launching her scull for the morning workout, or stretching after a demanding workout, or riding her bike home to Central Square. What is Ekaterina Karsten doing that I am not?"
