In the run up to the start of the regatta season its always hard to keep the motivation going. People go training and do the same things with only the same people to test themselves against and little notion to how they compare to others in they're boat classes.
Now is the time to keep pushing on. When others are loosing motivation its the time you have to get ahead and make yourselves even better, instead of putting it off till the races start, and then suddenly realizing that not enough work was put in and that you might not be able to catch up to win the important races.
Again, the races are not won on the day, they are won in the gym, on the erg, and on the cold horrible mornings, on the lakes and rivers when you decide to push your self out of your comfort zone and into the realm where you can make yourself better rower. Its not easy, but no one ever said it was.
