way enough!

Nope, that's not me complaining or quitting.  That's the command in crew/rowing that means stop.  Yep, I hit the water tonight in Washington D.C. to sit in a Women's 8 Sweep boat - Seat 4 Portside to be exact - to see what it would be like to return to the sport of rowing after abandoning it in college many, many years ago.  

I was initiated back into the sport with a nice blister on the inside of my thumb on my oar feathering hand.  Surprisingly, it all came back to me pretty quickly, both inside the boat and the procedures outside of the boat getting into and out of the water.  Best improvement over my last experience....thinner oar handles!  Ugh made such a difference!

Now, I shall prepare you for tomorrow's post that describes all the ways I can't move because of sore muscles that haven't been used in awhile.  Goodnight!
