I have a funny rowing story. I trained rowing as a kid for some time but then i quit. Anyway the school rowing championship race comes along ( Various schools in the city send their teams ) but by that time i havent rowed for a year, neither had my mates. So we decided to participate for shits and giggles and we managed to grab second place with no prior training or any preparation at all. We havent been in the water for a year, came there, got in the boat, got 2nd and left. They were all like: who the fuck are these guys?
(Mind you, most of the clubs are in close proximity and they know each other well)
Later our former coach invited us to train again but we were all like: Our work here is done dude adios.
