Working with college athletes doesn't "keep me young." It's exhausting and I feel the fatigue deep in my bones at the end of each day. But I love it and it *does* keep me *alive*.

Jayhawks in space! Former KU Crew member Loral O'Hara is going into space on September 15th! She will be launching from Star City outside Moscow to the ISS for a mission with Roscosmos cosmonauts Oleg Kononenko and Nikolai Chub.

Good luck and godspeed Loral!

And we're off!

First day of a new season. At varsity practice this morning we launched three 1xs including one para-boat, a 2x and the men were out in an eight.

Good row in brutal heat.

1st Novice practice is today at 5pm. Rock Chalk!

Gosh. You take your eyes off the coaching launch for 10 minutes and the spider gangs move right in!
Probably the same gang that stole the battery too. 🙁 Glad we checked before Monday morning.

Progress on the boat trailer renovation. Slow going but I think it's going to look great. Primer is going on in sections now because yesterday's rain had already started rusting the part we had just cleaned.

If we can get KU to change colors to Deep Terra Cotta & Blue we can just prime it and we're done!
I'm hearing votes for red from the team though.
