 Favorite Erg Piece: 
--Does game day count? I always enjoyed 2k time trials.  Short enough that you were not far from being finished but they always managed to hurt!

Favorite Rowing Memory:
--Two of them: Heading down to Topeka for spring break.  You always seem to learn something new when you spend 10 hours in the van with your friends and teammates.  It was also fun to get to know Nature Bruce and learn from Don Craig.  Also, flipping a single less than a foot from the dock was a pretty humbling experience.

- Getting the pair out on the river whenever I got the chance.  To this day, I still believe that there is nothing quite as relaxing as quietly gliding up the Mississippi while watching campus go by out of the corner of your eye.
