Blue Hudson

On Tuesday morning, I took the silver Kaschper out for a long row. It's time to start building up for longer distance rowing and racing. Of course, a "long row" was only 13 km, but it's a start. When I brought it back to the boatyard to rinse it off and dry it, I discovered a nasty punch hole right along the bottom of the hull that was definitely letting in water. So I notified the appropriate people, thoroughly toweled out the bow compartment, and put it away to completely dry for repairs.
So, back to the Blue Hudson this morning! It was fine. I can tell that I am now managing to make it to the boathouse at a satisfactory frequency to sustain and build technique and speed. Now I just have to try and keep that up through another round of circadian trials.
Tonight's a 9 pm timepoint, and tomorrow's a midnight timepoint, so on Saturday morning I'll sleep in and then I'll row with M on Sunday instead. We're getting ready to go out to a long-distance regatta on Lake Tahoe that we're pretty excited about. 16 km. Some of my Arizona Outlaw teammates used to go to this regatta and really liked it.
