First I met up with the Social Row. I was actually hoping to get out in an 8+. However, they only had 8 weaklings for 2 quads. I was on a Chairman of the Board be social mission so i did a loop with one of the quads and told them a few "History of WRL' stories. After that I did a little experimenting with seat height by rowing with a pad and without. Conclusion -- I like the pad = height. So now I have another little boat tuning project.

In the afternoon I rigged up some rigger bolt covers with tennis balls and bungy. Then I made an aluminum bracket of sorts so that I could mount a bottle cage into my boat. Very fancy! Assuming it works out, I'm going to be the envy of all the rowers with my fancy bottle holder.

Time to start training for the Possum Trot. I imagine myself doing intervals and hills so I think I can check those off as done. Time to taper.

A couple of weeks ago I turned my ankle carrying my boat to the dock in the dark. My ankle was ok but I rolled onto the top of my foot. It swelled and was a little bruised; I rarely ever bruise due to my excellent clotting abilities. My foot still feels a little achy. Who knows what I did to it. The main thing is to legitimize the PTrot excuses well in advanced. Mentioning them to day before or just after is unseemly.
