I may not be at re-rigging, I have an exam

This member of our team is proud to be able to touch her tongue to her nose. However, it may be difficult to acquire a demonstration of this talent owing to the fact that she is part of the infamous crew which was received the ‘disappearing act’ award. As part of the questionnaire which was sent around to all of us going down to Georgia in order to gain some useful information for each person’s biography; she responded in a similar fashion to the majority of the team – with a “Land Before Time” reference.  Anyway, her favorite dinosaur is Petrie the Pteranodon. She claims that she ‘may or may not’ be the subject of a tragically hip song, the operative words in that sentence being ‘may or may not’. Unlike most others for this trip, who responded to the question ‘what are you most looking forward to’ with something to do with, food, American stereotypes or Honey Boo Boo, she is most excited to be able to row and then not worry about falling asleep in class later. This is something that wouldn’t be a problem if we decided to practice at a ‘normal’ time, hint hint coaches. Some say that if she was mayor, she would have called something better than transit busses to transport her football team, and that she recently launched her own line of designer Tupperware. All I know is, her name is Alex Stefanovski

Back to athlete bios

This athlete is one of the ones who makes all the TID coaches in the land get really excited. Measuring in at something like 50 jars of peanut butter tall (or potentially 51, that’s up for debate), she is known for pulling on the erg like a heavy man. My theory on this is that it could be due to over-enjoyment of the movie Remember the Titans. A good way to describe her is evolving, having used to be a swimmer she recently crawled out of the water and into a boat, so my theory is that her next sport will be something to do with flying.  Having truly adopted a kinesiology student sort of attitude, she says that ideally she would spend her evenings at either kiwi kraze or bulk barn wearing sweats, as opposed to jeans, or Canada Goose jackets, of Lulu pants or Uggs. Some say that she only knows two facts about ducks and both of them are wrong. And that if she had directed Jurassic Park she would have had the T-Rex win. All we know is, it’s Lenore!

Hey y'all! Read This!

Welcome to the blog for the Western Mustangs reading week Georgia training camp. No, we are not yet in Georgia. Our planned departure is on the 16th of February, when it's actually reading week. Over the next couple weeks, until we leave I hope to be able to post highly detailed, accurate, serious and not at all funny blog entries describing each of us who are planning on heading down there. This year, the blog will be different than last year, as opposed trying to be funny and lighthearted, the blog will be serious and only report the most uninteresting and highly uninteresting details of the trip. One exciting example to look forward to is an in depth description of how they cast the concrete in the interstate system we drive on while driving down there. So if you're looking for a fun to read blog, I'm afraid you're SOL this time. Not. Rest assured I will endeavor to be as entertaining and fun to read as an engineering student can be.

Anyway, we're all getting super excited to head on down the Waffle House express way, also known as I-75,  on the way down to the homeland of Honey Boo Boo. As a way to get ready for the trip, many of us were competing at the Canadian Indoor Rowing Championship yesterday, there is a link to a summarizing video below. Is there a video in the first blog post this year? Yes, yes there is - and should be many more to come during the trip, get excited.
