Only for one year. I realized drinking beer till 5am was a more agreeable way to spend my college life than to wake up at 5am to row a boat.89ute said:

Except for when I bricked two free throws when I only needed to hit one the championship in AAU basketball when I was twelve.
Except when our all star baseball team lost in the semi finals of state when I struck out on a called third strike.
Except when in the playoffs versus Redmond in highschool soccer I cheated and should have been sent off for a red card but didn't and we still lost.
Except for in college when I did crew and we lost to Navy by about a billion boat lengths.
I guess I actually lost a lot, and yes all those things happened. -

For me: My eight lost to CAL once by a seat (fraction of a second) at a PAC 10 championship. We were down by a boat length or more the majority of the race and would have passed them if we had another 100 meters. This was especially humiliating because we were not a loser program and we hardly ever lost to CAL. Crushing agony of defeat type of moment. -

Worst i can think of offhand is the 7th grade, district track meet. I ran sprints and was good at it, winning the 100 in several meets, including sub districts with my best time of the season (think it was 13.1 lol). I ran a 12.8 in practice the week of the meet.
Anyways i got off the blocks OK for me, but my signature third gear surge, from about 20-30 meters, which was where i always jumped out to the lead, wasnt there that day. All i saw were other colors in my peripheral which was bad news for ne at that stage because i always lost ground especially in the final 30. It happened. I tensed up searching for a gear i didnt have and finished dead last in 14. something my worst time ever.
I had never finished last at anything. I was so butthurt, embarrassed and dejected that i faked a bruised heel and pulled out of the 200, which i had a chance of winning.
Yes i really do remember that day that clearly 32 years later. Ill go kill myself now. -

I think I would get WTF'd outta here in a hurry with a 10 things you never knew about rowing sort of post and I don't want to have to LEAVE.89ute said:

You two fags are knew around here. Gay Rowboat may be gay and all but is still appreciated enough since Washington is like good at it. Like really fucking good. Best program in the cuntry good. And this place is built on the core belief of winning first and everything else second.
I rowed for a year at UW but I sucked. Sucked relative for a UW rower. I guess that makes my most embarrassing moment having to retire from rowing due to injury.
