Ergometer is Greek for 'work meter'

There is a place where cerebral an corporeal meet: they call it rowing

The oars game me power but also taught me humility.

Rowing it was pointed out, was a sport that risked few injuries. So it was, I ould discover, but only if you did it right.

A boat is the hardest think I know of to put into perspective. It is so much like a human figure, there is something alive about it.

The greatest poet who ever wrote about rowing is Virgil, the greatest historian is Thucydides, but the greatest imagination ever to turn its attention to the sport is that of painter, Thomas Eakins.
