I’m not sure if any of our ardent supporters follow Wellesley Crew on Facebook (if you don’t, you really should), but
over the past few days, the most prominent posts on my newsfeed have been part
of the countdown until the beginning of our 2K13 season.
While I am undoubtedly looking forward to hitting
the KSC at 5 AM for WODs--Workouts of the Day (or as I prefer, Despair ;)—musical
ergs (much like that childhood game you love and adored, but with erg sprints- AKA 10x better), and
much-needed yoga sessions, I have also been enjoying waking up for 8 AM Pomeroy
breakfasts and doing homework (AKA 80% socializing, 19% internet browsing, and
1% considering doing actual work) until the wee hours of the morning.
So, until
our notoriously wonderful Midnight Madness practice, I and the rest of my much
loved Blue Crew will continue to fill the erg loft to finish out the 2013
off-season training regiment (there is nothing
better at 4:00 PM than 16+ ergs occupied by novices and varsity members,
alike, moving in sync), gather for tie-dye shenanigans, and congregate to
cheer-on teammates currently in other seasons
(shout out to senior Kathryn Goffin ‘13 who is finishing up the last season of
her diving career!)
Like the
“Twelve Days of Christmas,” the “Twelve Days Til’ Midnight Madness” will each
be wonderful in themselves, but the culmination of these twelve days will be a
BEST EVER.
