I just don't know...

I apparently passed out at practice today. That has never happened to me in my life. I don't remember anything. I was really dizzy and I told our stroke in front of me (I'm 7 seat), Chelse, to get Coach Tiffany. Last thing I remember saying was "seriously, I don't feel well..." Then I leaned back and next thing I know Maria is sprinkling water on

To be honest, you're not the only one. I don't think I've told anyone this before but I nearly blacked at CC a few times during the hotter months. I didn't drink enough water during the day and would be going full out at practice - so after awhile during the workout, my vision would blur and I wouldn't be able to see. It was a little unnerving, I'll admit

Thanks!
Knowing when to stop makes a good athlete, I once heard from my soccer coach. Of course she was referring to injuries and that sort of stuff that could keep you from running (or whatever) for a long time while you recover. I guess that doesn't make us good athletes then? I will never admit being tired or hurt, I guess it's maybe because I don't like failing at what I do, but I felt so sucky I had to tell my coach. Except it was too late.
I know how trying your hardest at everything you do feels. :) It's just she (my coach) wants me to gain weight, and I have (the healthy way, for the record), except I skipped breakfast that day and didn't drink much water and coming from a 3-wk really high calorie died to having eaten less that 500 cal that day was, apparently, not a very smart thing to do.
I'm sorry I can't make it to NOB, but I'm sure you're going to be awesome, as usual!

Everyone has a bad day once in awhile, so don't sweat it. But you're not coming to NOB either?? Dude, we worked on this since February and everyone is bailing out on me.

Hey...wait a second.

...This isn't because I didn't go to any of your regattas, is it? 'Cause I can explain...See, there was this meteor shower, right? And on the way to the lake, Bigfoot came out of the brush onto the road and attacked my car, and...

;) Just kidding.

It's not really a big deal if you can't make it, don't feel obligated. Most of my solos are one-liners anyway. But I would be honored if you could be there, even if you're late - come right after practice if you want to, I don't mind if you're sweaty and smelly and you fall asleep for half of the performance.

You just have to wake up for me. :)

Besides - after two hours of dancing, I'm not going to be much different, am I?
