You can’t escape a love-hate relationship with an erg facility. But whether it’s procrastinating homework we planned to do before practice, or seeing the entire team cheer on the final groups of a Friday relay, I’ve found myself falling in love with the building.

Even in comparison to national team facilities, our new environment is phenomenal. Staring down your teammates on the erg and fighting for every meter unequivocally makes us a stronger, faster, and more cohesive unit, certainly a force to be reckoned with come spring.
