3-30 | Rig the boats before you row

First official in-season practice! We spent the practice at the boathouse, rigging the boats, cleaning out the boathouse gear, and such. I was hoping to go on a run or something, or erg when I got home, but I didn't end up doing that. I think the hardest thing for me is going to be finding the line between resting when I need to but not being lazy.
