Rowing is quite possibly the most pain filled sport in existence. The blame can be squarely laid at the feet of the man who invented the sliding seat. There is a race held annually since 1852, between Harvard and Yale, where two eight-man crews go head-to-head over a four mile course in New London, Connecticut. Traditionally, rowing had been mainly an endeavor of the back and arms. In order to gain an advantage, this Eli in 1872 devised a pair of wooden slats, which when complemented by a set of greased leather trousers, allowed the rower to push off with his legs and add them to the drive sequence. Because rowing uses all of the major muscle groups in the body, the athlete quickly enters a state known as lactate hell or the pain locker, in which acid builds up quickly in bloodstream and stays there for the entirety of a race.
