A little hot, a little steamy, a little chicken Parmesan. Coached two sessions where we worked on applying some new ideas to take time to let the boat run between the strokes and that seemed like a huge breakthrough. In the afternoon we reintroduced the feather and also some drive mechanics. The difficulty in learning effective boat moving comes from so many factors not the least of which is having the requisite strength to repeat the motion over time. The secondary factor is probably that when rowing in eights you can't really tell if what you're doing is better than the last stroke. That makes things awfully tough to see what impact you actually have on the boat.Trying to get back in the groove with regards to working out and did a drop down set of erging and lifting with a little bit of running to break up the monotony. A couple of sophomore lightweights joined, Direktor #1 and me for the work out and that livened things up a little bit. That 'slight' soreness from yesterday has now turned into a wicked case of DOMS - here is also another definition that might describe that.
Off to dinner and then a little bit of programmatic design and responding to recruit emails.
