Rowed 4 km in just over 21 minutes.

Got sudden and quite serious pain in one of my front teeth (well, the one directly next to that) and hemmed and hawed for a bit yesterday before calling the dentist.

Had trouble getting up, didn't get as much done as I should have, raging screaming back pain - urgh.
