What is The Princeton Hot Seat?

The Princeton Hot Seat is a new recurring photo blog to highlight the transient nature of the rowing community in the Princeton, New Jersey area.  It's open to anyone directly involved with the sport of rowing that comes to Princeton on rowing "business".  Could be rowers, coxswains, coaches, boatmen, officials, etc.

How does the Hot Seat Work?

Each subject gets four questions to answer, the first of which is simply, why are you here (in Princeton)?  Then the subject randomly draws the remaining three from a pool of pre-determined questions, of which half are rowing related, half are not...and can be pretty random.  They get one pass.

On the Hot Seat today is the USA JW2- of Arianna Lee and Ashlyn Dawson.

Princeton Hot Seat - Why are you in Princeton?

Arianna Lee - We are here to train for the junior national team in the women's pair.

Princeton Hot Seat - If you could have any job in the world, what would it be?

Ashlyn Dawson - I would work at Nike so I could get a bunch of free clothes.  How great would that be?

Princeton Hot Seat - What's your least favorite erg workout and why?

Arianna Lee - My least favorite erg workout is 3x19 minutes as a pyramid builder.  I am not about the long steady state and trying to hit rate and split at the same time.  It's a long time to sit and focus on an erg and I have a hard time with all the shifts.  I do not like 3x19 min.

Princeton Hot Seat - If you could have any animal as a pet, what would it be?

Ashlyn Dawson - I wanted a pig and then I babysat one, and that was horrible!  So I would probably say a giraffe as they are pretty cute and I could ride my giraffe through town.
