Favorite Erg Piece:  
On January 22 of this year, we had an all-novice practice with only five people. We did a 3 x 2k with five minutes of rest in between each one. The first 1000m of each 2k was at your 5k pace plus ten split seconds, the next 500m was at your 5k split, and the last 500m was at your 2k pace. It was a pretty tough workout but it went by fast and everyone left practice feeling good.

Favorite Cox'n Calls:
“You’re the strongest 8 women out here!!” – Mike Steinman
“That’s it, let’s finish it with POWER!!” – Renee Kardell 

Favorite Rowing Memory:
At the Tail of the Fox regatta earlier this year, I got to cox a mixed 8 for the first time. We started out strong and kept it going smooth through the whole race. When we got to the half-way point, we bumped it up a notch and then ended it with a solid sprint for the last few-hundred meters into the finish line. Everyone put their all into that race and we came in first!

What is your favorite meal for breakfast?
 A big stack of chocolate chip pancakes with real maple syrup, served with coffee and orange juice.
