Today’s indoor rowing was another 10K. It was scheduled online, about 15 minutes in advance. Miraculously, another rower noticed it and joined the session. It was Jim D., who did a Jim Dandy impressive rowing effort and inspired me not to be lazy.
I did the first 1,000 meters as a warmup, then picked up the pace for the rest of the 10K. When the distance counted down to where I could see that Jim D. had about 500 meters left to go, I picked up the pace a bit more, to perhaps help inspire him to a good finish. After that 500 meters, I resumed my previous pace and held it to the finish line.
Happy rowing to you.
