First day in a shell

And she already looks great!
Friend-of-a-friend's daughter.
Will be a high school freshman in the fall.
Already 5'10".
Weary of soccer but still wants to compete; a friend of the family suggested rowing.
Kelly's been working with her on an indoor rower, but today Roland, Kelly & I introduced her to the water.
College rowing in four years??

2021 edit. Alas, she took up place-kicking for the [boys] high school football team, though she continued to use her family’s indoor rowing machine at home for fitness and leg strengthening.

If she's like other people who have taken to rowing, she won't stop!

Fun??

[Rick Schies]

Nice one. I guess its all about form

[Thom Mitchell]

@maggiemae We're hoping not!

[Thom Mitchell]

@thewatersphotos Lots of fun! It will be a privilege to watch her develop & grow as both a rower and a young woman. It's what I miss about university teaching…

Good for her. Not a sport you'd ever find me involved in as a) I have a fear of water and b) it's a sport ;) xx
