Last week I met Caryn and Maggie at the boathouse to row the racing sculls again. On the walk down the dock I mentioned that I felt fine, just really off. Just one of those days when my mind and my body were going two completely different directions. I jammed my wrist on the dock just getting in the boat. First time that ever happened! Bob, our coach, mentioned that my balance was off in the boat. I said, “Yep sure is, please help everyone else; I will do some balance drills. Fifteen minutes later I flipped the scull. Luckily for me I had just asked Bob how one gets back in the scull if you happen to flip. And the water temp was the perfect temperature! On the second try I got back in the boat. Not an easy task on a very narrow, tippy racing scull. All my swimming (comfort in the water) and upper body strength definitely came in handy. I had fun actually! Matthew says one is not a true sculler until you flip the boat three times. One down, two to go. I’ll keep you posted.
