Rowing today. As soon as the sun peaked over the horizon, a breeze ENE about 7mph came up. It made things a little challenging, but I was able to deal with it, if not conquer the little waves completely. On the way back into the waves, I had to keep the oars light over the water or they would really slap against the waves. Of course as I was finishing up the wind died down. Naturlich. My left hand was overworked squaring up. Must learn to relax.
A more stern-ward foot position this time worked well. Next is rigging the oarlocks for left-over-right.
I seem to get jerky at the catch. I think this is a result of tension due to two things; mobility, (particularly ankles) and my still too big tummy. Methinks too many cheats! I'll do better with one cheat a week. I'm happy with what I've accomplished but I'm not yet where I want to be, performance-wise.
This Summer is about learning to row the skinny boat. I won't worry about going fast or working out.
