Just a little update - to all those ancient (I'm 60) and unfit peeps taking up rowing late in life - don't overdo it! I was so enthusiastic I was going out every morning and rowing to my HR limits for 45 mins. In November I could hardly row at all - my legs had this really weird feeling. The back of my right thigh could hardly rest on the seat of my car without pain.
I stopped rowing completely (quite worried) for over a month and have just finished about 6 wks of every other day, gentle rowing. Starting to get back to where I was when I started... doh.
