Balance - the Zen of the oarlocks

11/7/2012

After Monday's paddling about with no stabilizers and staying dry, went out in the canal without them again this morning. I was pleased to find from the Speedcoach that I was a little faster around my regular route for a lot less heartbeats and strokes.. I'm beginning to feel the boat's balance with the subtle outwards pressure on the oarlocks. Thanks to the post on the rowing illustrated board.

I think the floats will be off most of the fair weather time from now on. I like this rowing thing.

Training wheels off for 2nd time

After the last quick circle and back without the wheels I was keen to try again - this time without the boat being full of water (I'd just fallen in - see previous video). We again went down to a lovely spot just off of the Gulf of Mexico wher the water is clean and smooth and alligators *shouldn't* be too common (I'm told they don't like salty water - well I've seen one there before..)

After a few minutes of being quite stiff and rigid I managed to relax and *really* enjoyed myself for a couple of hours. The boat cuts through the water much better. I didn't have my Speedcoach hooked up so it's probably all in the mind but it felt great.
