Rowing Friends welcomed Matt Logue, UB Crew Alumni to the podcast. The group caught up on personal updates and discussed Matt's current roles, including his position as executive director at 3 Rivers Rowing Association and his work on the US Rowing Safety Committee. They explored safety concerns in rowing, with Matt highlighting the importance of life jackets, swimming abilities, and heat guidelines, while emphasizing the need for a conversational approach to safety rather than a punitive one. The conversation shifted to the unique challenges of rowing compared to other sports, and Kate shared her perspective as a new parent in the rowing community. Discussions touched on indoor training facilities, ergometer testing, and the challenges faced by returning rowers. The group also explored plans for future events, including a potential UB alumni boat for the Head of the Ohio race and the organization of a "Return to Row Day" in 2026.
