[Nan3cy]

That's a lovely story about Redrumette. My son (there is no way to come up with a masculine equivalent to Nan3cy, so I won't even try) went out for crew his freshman year at Brown. Unfortunately they didn't have a lightweight crew, which he would have been perfect for (at 33, he is 6'2" and weighs less than 150, soaking wet), so he was on the same squad with the 220-pounders. He lasted six weeks, three of which he had a cold that turned into bronchitis that turned into pneumonia.

The next year he switched to Ultimate Frisbee, which he loved and stuck with for three years. It was a club sport that wasn't as much of a time sink and worked much better with his bioengineering major and premed requirements.
