April is the last month of the rowing season - what do you need to row to reach your goals for the season?

April is the last month of the rowing season - what do you need to row to reach your goals for the season?

My season could effectively finish on Friday 13th so aims are:-

Break 1million for the season, not a problem particularly if I achieve the second aim which is to score a FM time for the Nonathalon.

Other than that to contribute as much as I can to the WEC scores before I board the big silver bird .

By the way Izzy thanks for the link to find a C2, looks like the only one in miles is located in a very select members only club in a gated community so can't guarantee any rows after I arrive on the 14th but hope that my hotel in Santa Monica might be suitably equipped for the holiday bit after I escape business committments.

Finally getting time on the water....unfortunately for me it has been more time coxing than rowing...our club had a good turn out for the last "learn to row" group. Having to instruct the basics really slows down the row and makes it impossible to really push. Sunday I was in the 2 seat and a strong experienced rower was in bow. We made an agreement that when we rowed as a pair to go all out. We had that boat flying... it was awesome having that rush of catching and releasing together and pulling as hard as possible...If only I could have more time on the water like that!!!
