"Together!"

Feels good to realise (slowly albeit) what synchronisation actually means as we find it in our own rowing instead of always hearing the cox shout out "Together!". Guess all that effort we're putting in is starting to pay off. Though of course, consistency, which is more important, calls for a lot more of it.

The ergometer race is up on the 20th of this month. Practice is on for that as well. However, yesterday, practice gradually shifted into goofing around on the swings and go-rounds near the erg in the club. Amidst all the fun and frolic, nobody realised the time and, to cut a long story short, we were all horribly, horribly late for work!

So today, we were careful not to go anywhere near them, and to be there for breakfast on time. Things are not so different at the breakfast table either, where we are all reluctant to lift our bums and get to work after a nice meal and joking around with everyone. It's also funny how the number of breakfasts and lime juices seem to be increasing in a directly proportional manner to the number of days left for the race :)

In sum, a nice day, though quite a few were missing. After all, the more the merrier. Nevertheless, I can see the determination building in our team as even the once-in-a-week timers are slowly becoming regulars.
