Author update: Back at it.

I took the last ~10 months to complete my first year of medical school, to take some writing courses, to row for myself, even race a bit for the fun of it, and to view the world and experiences of life through the thesis of the book. In this, I’ve been pondering many of the questions above. This is a page from a journal, I wanted to share with you all. It shows a little bit of my work of going back and reflecting on my process and what I’m working towards. Most important of these Questions [capital Q] to me as author/researcher is: have I learned enough/how do I make sure I’ve learned enough from my work/process/efforts in 2020 and 2021 to shepherd this story (stories!) into book form, and how do I fill those identified gaps? How do I identify my blindspots? Second most important Question-and a guiding principle of the book is: What elements of personal/social/systemic/physical power help or hinder success? Within all of these are more questions of course-what is success? What is power? I’ve done my own journaling and writing on these-but feel free to share your thoughts on any of these in a comment or dm now or in the future :)

With the closing ceremonies over-what stands out to us from the Summer Olympic Games is the excellence in the field of the LW 2x. Not only was it the fastest 6 boat rowing final* , but compared across other racing sports-it was the closest finish among almost every A Final racing sport over the 800m distance. (We looked only at the raw time split…maybe someone wants to calculate the percentages across the finals)

Several worlds best times were broken throughout the regatta by the LW2x. It was a close final-you never know til it’s over and we definitely recommend a rewatch 👀

Huge admiration, respect and congratulations to all competitors and especially the LW2x field.

*it was the second fastest final to the W4- B final which has a spread of 1.48 seconds across 4 boats.
