I have had a CBreeze for a long time now. I had forgotten what a difference it can make it comfort level!
I happened to row at a gym for the first time in years, and they don't have a CBreeze. I had to stop early because I was getting so much hotter and sweatier. (I get plenty hot and sweaty with the CBreeze )
It just takes seconds to put on or take off, and being made of fabric it can be folded or rolled into a very small space.
I would highly recommend using one.

Hooyah, Darryl!

"See" y'all later this month. 200 miles of whitewater rafting sounded like such a great idea last winter ... now that it's tomorrow, I'm thinking ... waah. (I'm starting my triage packing this afternoon. Jan taught me well.)

Flex those rowing muscles! Feel the pull of the moon! A couple of days ago, I saw that some of the leaves are starting to turn.....fall is just around the corner! We have snow in the high country today...

[acrewer]

Yep, I was in the Engine Room, also had the hightest raw ERG scores on our team. Of course when the scores were adjusted for weight (I was also the tallest and thus the heaviest), others outranked me. But it was fun to be best at something.

Sunday I hope to go watch the US Masters Rowing Championships here in Long Beach. I'm hoping that the various vendors will be in attendance so I can take a look at things like gel seats, the C-Breeze, gloves, etc. I'd love to have the time to join a real team and row on the water and race, but morning practices are just not practical for many reasons.

Congratulations Darryl to your 1st M of this season!

I was hoping to put in a few more meters before getting off the boat for 2+ weeks, but... . Maybe I can access an erg in Cambridge (UK), where I will be for almost a week, and add some.

Happy rowing!

Day Three of the Silence dawns....still stranded on an asteroid.....cosmic rays interfering with radio frequency....I continue to transmit in hopes that I will be able to find the crew's transmission frequency....sensing that chatter is occurring....somewhere

Here's the link to the video of the women's eights final - very cool stuff! NBC olympics video has some good footage of rowing as a sport, and the individual races.
