Local rowing club offers a learn-to row course. Nowhere near ready for it this summer. Maybe next year. I might use the 2025 course as a carrot to get my seat on the erg. I’ve spent enough time admiring rowers, ahem, rowing, I probably should learn how to do it.
Bike. Swim. Tai Chi. Stretching. Not often, but more than zero. So that’s something.
Mileage, bike [Mississippi River] Mileage, swim & row, not far enough to be worth counting. Yet.
