You're right -- they are the best UVA athletes and nobody even knows it! Thanks for giving this wacky sport the old college try...

When I saw the team in DeLand Florida for training, I was amazed at their strength and endurance. It is difficult to describe the workout but you have done a superb job with humor and empathy. The coaches are also right in there pushing, observing, correcting, and encouraging. What a fabulous sport that does not get the attention it deserves! It is also just beautiful to see. I am looking forward to Part 2. Thank you for writing such an accurate and enjoyable article. When I saw the team in DeLand Florida for training, I was amazed at their strength and endurance.

My remarkable granddaughter is a coxswain at UVA, so our family reads everything we can get our hands on about her sport. Thanks for your exhausting research, which paid off in the end.

Most non-rowing journalists who attempt to write about crew usually mess it up, simply because it is so foreign to them. But you nailed it. And you did so with great empathy and humor! I hope that if you forego aspirations of being a National Team rower, that you do pursue being a professional journalist. The article was excellent and I look forward to reading the next installment!

Wake up, eat, row, class, eat, (maybe row again), eat, study, & sleep. Sometimes we would work a lift at Mc Cue into this repertoire. Yet some of the best years I can remember, and a place where many great friendships develop. Did I mention the best shape of my life?

Sort of makes me miss those days where I dreaded walking up hills because I was so sore from the previous day's workout! Very well-written - I'm looking forward to reading the second installment!

Looking forward to part two. One small correction, though: the Head of the Charles is the largest head race in the world but it's only the oldest in the country. The Head of the River Race on the Thames is almost 40 years older. Good story. Looking forward to part two.
