When you are… Unsure Uneasy Unsettled… Go home. #CoxingReport

Yes! I tell this to the intermediate team athletes that I coach!

☠️ #ergingreport

So yes, we have a Substack, here's some free stuff to drag you in llewelynhynes178285.substack.com/p/part-2-defin…

With my hubby’s new long commute & my coaching schedule, we’ve been going to bed around 8:45 PM. A friend from out of town is here & invited us to get drinks. Of course, we said yes! Then he suggested we meet up at 8:00 PM. ☠️😂 That nap tomorrow’s gonna feel so good. #RowerLife

At the optometrist’s office for a contact lens consultation so that I can bow more efficiently in the dark… I have no other use for contacts outside of bowing (I love my glasses at work, while driving, and while coxing!). Oh, the things we do for rowing…… 🤓

After coaching this morning, I got together with my coxing coach and went over the Head of the Charles course and discussed how to handle unexpected situations during the race that’s hard to practice. He will be coxing a women’s 8+, and I’ll be coxing a men’s 4+. Can’t wait!

Cox at 6am, coach at 8am! #SundayFunday

@AdrianEllison17 I know! I have a Head of the Charles trial tomorrow morning so now extra focused and alert about every single thing.

@coxswainslog Good thing it happened when it did, and not when you were boating for a World Championships or Olympic regatta race!

I checked the cox box on land, but when we got to the dock, I realized that the speaker in the bow seat wasn’t working. It sucked because I could’ve & should’ve totally prevented the issue had I check everyone’s speaker and not just whether or not the mic’s working. #CoxingReport

I coxed today, and it made me happy. #CoxingReport

Over the past few months, we’ve spoken to more than two dozen current and former Harvard lightweight rowers on the men’s and women’s teams. More than half said they witnessed or experienced unhealthy behavior around eating while on the rowing teams. thecrimson.com/article/2025/5…

@Will916Rower @AIDSLifeCycle So excited you will be doing this! Rooting for you.

Another @AIDSLifeCycle training ride in the books. Was a lovely day for a century ride. A bit more headwind than I prefer, but got it done! Two more weeks to go!!

@bspartridgeCIS Hell yeah!!!

This weekend is Crew Classic, known as the start of sprint/spring racing. My team brought how gold in the Woman’s masters 8+ 🏆🌟💕 so thankful to have all these ladies ro row with every morning #RowingLife

ZLAC Women’s Masters F 8+, baby! Coxed my old friends at @crewclassic. Always a good time when you’re home. F is for Forever. #CoxingReport

It was so cold. 😭🥶 #CoachingReport

I coxed an 8+ this AM and had a productive practice working on my race calls & finding ways to improve my steering while sandwiched between other boats. I came home, rode the Peloton bike for ~45’ and now headed to work not as well put together as I should be but super happy!

🧀 Cheesy as it sounds, this is the year of ME!!! I’ll cox when I want to, row when I want to, and race when I want to. I am going to continue to work hard and be a dedicated athlete, coach & teammate, but I won’t feel bad for not meeting others’ expectations. #MentalHealthReport

Haven’t been on the water much this month so everyone was a bit rusty today. I totally missed that my women’s 4+ was bucket rigged until we were quarter way through practice. One of the singles put the oarlocks backwards, but I figured that one out real quick. 😂 #CoachingReport

Last intention circle! This @HOCR mixed 8+ of the team I coach has been meeting 30 minutes before Tuesday practices (That’s 4:45 AM!!!) to discuss their intention of the week. So grateful to bring this dedicated crew to their first Charles experience! HOT TO ROW! #CoachingReport
