I'm not impressed by the individual who is willing to exercise to the point of vomiting or a loss of bladder control—this is not that unusual.

What's unique about [rowing] is this utter dependence on one another - no one guy can make the boat go faster by himself; on-the-other-hand, one guy can slow it down a lot. So [rowers] really do learn to trust one another and depend on one another in a pretty unique way.
