Pete reckoned that for each 1 week without rowing he added 1S/500m onto splits on the return. Obviously the amount depends on any cross training and how aggressive he targets are. It seems consensus that it takes approx. 2 weeks to regain the fitness lost for each week of inactivity, although I suspect that the recovery may be slower for those at the peak of fitness than those currently making rapid gains.
Not exactly what I wanted to read sipping my beer on the beach, but there's more to life I guess. See you all in a couple of weeks (after which it will take me 4 weeks to get up to speed again) :D
