Seat racing's maybe one of the hardest things about this sport. You go all fall and winter and then you get this one shot after six months to make the boat, you know, and if you don't, it's hard to not look back and have regrets and doubt yourself. And also, one week you're helping your friend through an erg test, you know, he's your best bud in the world, and then the next week you got switched across the gunnels with him for a seat race. It's hard to keep emotions out of it. It's hard to not make it personal. In the end I guess you gotta just make whatever boat you're on go fast and just train again for next year's one shot to make it. Making the first boat isn't everything. You'll have more opportunities to do it but if you let that shit distract you for too long, you'll miss the opportunity to just race boats and have fun.
