What's it like being a stranded cow?

Entertaining I know, but for this little cow the experience of taking in the wonderful view was eventually overridden by the reality of how the heck do I get down from here? Sure I don't know if cows have reality checks but the sound of this cow said to me she was less than certain about her situation. Do you ever have that feeling? I know I do?

Amongst Competitors: What's in all mean?

When it rains it pours... I am stuck at home with chickenpox so I have loads of time to be able to complete an number of post i have planned to write for some time. 2007 Start Semi This is something which I found myself going over when I was watching some rowing races on DVD. My preference has been to view races every couple of weeks and to make notes about what I observe. Often I then check splits and compare to what other categories did on the day around similar time of the day at the event. Watching these video's recently I found myself reflecting on what it's like being amongst competitors. That feeling of being on the start line. Of taking off together when the start releases signals go. The feeling of being around the regatta site. The post race experience with the let down, celebration, frustrations and realisations. What I love is the lack of ambiguity with competitors. Forget some of the rubbish that can go on before or after a race. Some athletes are into the mind
