Side effects of switching oars

[rebeccmeister]

My rowing blisters have blisters in their blisters. This one looks very impressive, but it doesn't hurt at all.



Shorter outboards make the blue Hudson feel less stable, but that's not too bad, and I can hold a much better stroke rating now.

When I fell down and caught myself using my palms I got a huge blood blister which turned into a largish hard, black armor plate on my palm that didn't go away for a couple of months. I was pretty proud of it.

That must have been one hell of a slap-landing!

Yeah I was convinced I'd broken something for a week, because melodrama.

Hah. I have one kinda like that on the ball of my foot at the moment, but I don't think it'll last months. (I don't think.) Now that it's stopped hurting/impeding my movement, it's pretty cool.

Yeah I was thinking of donating blood and then stealing the blood and then making blood blisters that would turn into armor and then I would be unstoppable!

Then I remembered how I felt like total crap after donating blood so I just wear denim instead. Rar. *cue 70's music*

I was gonna make some snide remark about how rowing doesn't look any fun and then I thought about where I currently have sores from cycling and realized rowing actually sounds pretty good.
