training was quite okay t'day
i started out in a t1, the rj's trash 07
and it felt good, mainly cause it was a low seat and the boat was damnnn comfortable
i tried doing a high seat, it felt horrible.
i wasn't horribly unstable, but i felt very vunerable
as if the slightest of exertions on my paddle would make me cap
and then i realised i shouldn't be such a pussy and be so afraid of capping
and i rowed. and i capped.
on a slightly happier note, my direction's getting better! maybe because the t1's rudder's easier to use [:
and i think my elbows are going up
at least i hope so. i need to kick harder and pull harder! too little power too slow a stroke rate
and i need to up my rotation like crazy! i'm too slow! TOO SLOW!
now i have to focus on going faster and straighter and working more in the water with a higher stroke rate!
a rather tall order
but hopefully achievable!
target: ROW A HIGHSEAT K1 PROPERLY by the end of august!
