Let’s Start at the Very Beginning…
Caffeine.
Isn’t that the usual catalyst for Great Things?
It is in our case.
One early January morning after getting off the water, a group of Rio and COT rowers gathered at the usual world-dominating corporate coffee company shop to fuel up. So energized, we all started talking at once about adaptive rowing (at December’s US Rowing convention, we had been introduced to the possibility when we met some adaptive rowers and equipment manufacturers.). We did a quick inventory of our talents and connections, and realized that, hey – we can do this too!
Many grandes & ventis later — here we are: four days away from our first day of a summer erg training program for adaptive athletes. What a great “buzz”!
