Man, it's getting hot around these parts! I've actually taken to getting up earlier and rowing in the morning. 5 PM is just too hot. I'm not a morning person , so it's now a matter of slogging through the day's meters rather than intervals and striving for PBs. However, I did reach

2.5 million lifetime

today . Thanks for all your support and encouragement. It does help me face the erg in the AM!

Good job on your lifetime meters, Gina ... and I'm seriously impressed that you're getting up early to row. I'm just rowing later and later, when it cools off ... support and encouragement notwithstanding.

Congrats on the 2.5 MM

It's supposed to hit 115 degrees here today ... but hey, overnight low is projected to be below 90

All metres are good - even if they do involve a fair amount of slogging

It appears to be 68 F your way, which seems a very polite temperature for winter ... you are oh-so spoiled, 3B!

I was pretty traumatized yesterday from having to drill 4 holes through the sides of one of my kevlar canoes. I was getting my largest tandem canoe (Wenonah Champlain) ready to take down to the Wisconsin River in a week and it's been overdue for getting a needed sternman's foot brace installed. Hopefully the pop rivets and silicone sealed the hull back up or maybe I'll have to drill some more holes to let the water out.... This is a trial run on this canoe with a full load in handling the flow of a big river. I'm hoping it works fine as it is the one canoe I have that will handle 125 lbs of fresh water, 175 lbs of paddling and camping gear, a cooler and ice, food and beverages, folding table, chairs, etc I'll need for my expected Green River trip in Utah in 6 weeks.
