Stay in the Boat: Focus on the Positive in Life
The dream starts out with a University Crew Women’s Eight at the starting line competing in a 6k race against three other boats. The boat begins the course with eight rowers and one coxie.
At the starting gate, one of the athletes focused on how she was treated rudely by one coach and overlooked by the others because of her abilities. Suddenly, she - including her seat and her oar -disappeared from the boat!
The other athletes decide they would continue the race without her, since they had worked so hard during the season. The race started off really well. Then at the the 5,900 metre mark, there is an equipment failure where one of the oarlocks breaks. The athlete who’s oarlock broke doesn’t know what to do, and stops rowing. Then “poof”, the second athlete disappears.
