Event Hosted By Chelsea Link To Event Start slideshow Meeps Learn to Row Written By Chelsea 03/01/2009 click for full size On a sunny afternoon, 15 meeps, both new and not so new to rowing came down to the boathouse to give this crazy sport a try. Three members from last summer's team no pants: David, Kelly and Beth were joined by Sara (Kelly's friend), Jan, Lynn, Justine, Buddy, Justin, Mark, Lam, Kim, Rachel, Crystal and John. They were all really good students.. well besides the times they would interrupt with unnecessary "That's what She Said Jokes" :) We started up on the ergs and started with the very basics. After some demonstrations and learning the basic language of rowing, the meeps started off on their own to figure out the stroke. After about 45 mins on the erg, we headed down to the tanks and they got a better idea of what the actual rowing stroke feels like. It was definitely a great time and I was glad to see so many people interested in rowing! More Photos
