Like a (bad) rower to water ...

... I'm back on the Mississippi in the morning.

I'm going out with Bruce and Jim in doubles at 630am, sandwiched between the competitive team and the junior team. I didn't realize how much I missed it.

However, I'm ... sore.

It seems like the flexibility and the core strength that I built up all winter by going to the Y in the dark and frigid Minnesota mornings vanished in the 2 months of relative inactivity since my trip back east. Damn you, exercise physiology!

See you on the water, I'll be the guy in the annoying tshirt that's sweating twice as much as anybody else ...
