So went to rowing this morning for the second week, all excited cos we got to actually jump in and go for a paddle for the first time (first week was on the training machine to practice technique). It was windy as hell and choppy, but the caoch was all "Nevermind, jump in anyway, this week: Survival techniques!"
Still, was very very fun, and I was getting the swing of it until I needed to back around with only one paddle to turn and counteract the the cross current, and in the space of four seconds went from upright to in the river. So had to swim back dragging the scull.
Still, loved it. Hopefully next week is calm.
