With a little good ol’ fashioned elbow grease, a lot of sweat, and a fair amount of cursing, our new rowers are operational. Now it’s time to put them to use. After you pull that big, heavy single on the deads Thursday, it’s onto the erg for another kind of pulling and a 2K. Rowing 2,000 meters is about the equivalent of running a mile. You obviously don’t want to come flying out of the gate at a full out sprint, but a reasonably quick pace can and should be maintained. Let’s break in the new toys with some fast times.
