I have developed a little personal tradition of rowing on Easter morning. This year's early Easter has made me reconsider those plans. For one thing, there is still ice in the south end of the lake, which isn't a huge deal because I can easily stay north of it. It will be 20 degrees at dawn though, and that's a little chilly for the fingers. On the upside, it won't be windy.

Looking to get the boat out for the first time this year tomorrow afternoon when it's 40 degrees and manageable. We'll see how that goes. I can solve cold fingers if I really want to. I certainly don't plan spending a lot of time out there.

cold fingers are easily fixed by using poagies. minnesotan rowing has taught me that.

I only have sweep poagies. I would be a litte nervous sculling with them because sculling hands always pass closer to my body/knees, et cetera, and you can't really change the grip mid-recovery the same way as sweep. But yes, I agree.

There are other rowers on Mindsay? How is the season shaping up?

true.
blearg. not good. I am under weight, and on the very light end even for coxing. and my coach won't make decisions about who's coxing next year. and at 5'3, i would be the better option than the 5'8 girl who weighs 119.

yes, we exist.

I wouldn't worry about coach not making decisions on coxing yet. If you have summer rowing or small boats, you should do that. Rowing will only help your coxing.

true. its just confusing, between the "oh, you should cox!" and the "get more muscle" demands...
