Weekday rowing starts tomorrow. My alarm is set for 4:30 a.m., uuhhhhggggg. We'll see how I feel when that alarm goes off. We kicked off the season this Saturday with a post-row brunch and a dedication of the new women's boat, Blind Faith. Widmer Ale was poured over the bow, quite an appropriate welcome to Portland.
My fitness this winter has not necessarily improved. I don't know if it has declined. I know that I have gained a few pounds since the fall, but on the other hand I think my erg times might be better. I haven't actually done another 2k test, which would be the real measure, or at least an objective measure, but I feel like my erging is better. I pretty much maintained at least one erg session a week some times two. My water workouts were sporadic. The big achievement of the winter was attending the USRowing Level I Coaches Clinic. I'm really looking forward to teaching some learn-to-row classes this spring.
My first regatta with Station L will be on March 15 at Green Lake in Seattle. I'll be rowing in an 8+ and 4+. The races are 1k. Next Saturday we are going to scrimmage with some other Portland clubs in the Holgate Channel behind Ross Island. That will be a 3k race.
Wish me luck on waking up.
