Re: LUNA-TICS TEAM ROOM: Year-round "Looney" fun.
This 200,000 thing is certainly proving to be a worthy challenge. I'm on track but can't skip any work outs. Good motivation to build up a lot of time on the erg.
Had a question for the group. I've had a few blisters since I started rowing last January but I've had one that keeps coming back on my middle finger in the same spot. I wear a pair of workout gloves, but usually around the 10-12k mark in a workout, it's obvious it has come back. I've been rowing every other day during the challenge so it's usually calmed down by the time I start my workout but it comes back. I've wrapped my problem fingers with athletic tape in the past but the tape usually works it's way off inside of the glove - sweat and friction, I assume. So, what tips do you guys have for dealing with blisters? Are there specific gloves you'd recommend? Or is it a matter of continuing to build the callus until it can withstand the friction?

Re: LUNA-TICS TEAM ROOM: Year-round "Looney" fun.
When I rowed crew with a masters rowing club coaches did not want the rowers to wear gloves. The reason they gave was gloves hindered being able to tell when the oar was seated in the oarlock. Blisters were part and parcel of the game till the calouses formed. I'll never forget the "ejector crab" one of my teammates suffered not having her blade square. It was right in front of a packed restaurant. I was rowing starboard in the 3 seat, she was in the bow #1 seat. We were rowng full pressure and all of a sudden this head appears in the murky waters of the Black Warrior River between the oars od the 5 & 7 seat.....
Re: LUNA-TICS TEAM ROOM: Year-round "Looney" fun.
Well traveling certainly hinders ones ability to add meters to the challenge, but I was pretty happy to have found a newer concept 2 pm5 sitting all alone not being used up here in Northern Minnesota, so I had couple hours tops to get a work out in before being whisked out and back on the family visiting tour. I don’t know about you guys but a few days away from the rower makes me a little cranky. I hope to be back on the home erg soon and thanks to today’s erg visit I am at least within striking distance of 200 k. Happy rowing to you all.
