Boathouse Opening Day

We had another split squad workout with rowers in the tanks and rowers at the boathouse for a combination of training stimuli. We went over some of the basic movements and training ideas that we'll utilize to improve our fitness over time. There's a feeling of satisfaction that comes from seeing a workout successfully executed (and of excitement generated by the enthusiasm of the rowers for the work) and I'm going to be highly interested in the progress we make in this first cycle of training.

One of the things of which we need to be highly cognizant is an escalation of volume and intensity that does not allow for adequate recovery and adaptation. I'm highly encouraged by the 'attack' that our younger rowers are putting in and tomorrow we'll most likely be indoors based on our new Thursday Common Hour schedule. Impressions of that to come later.
