What's the weather supposed to be like when you're planning to row? When/where are you going to do the race?
yes, that's exactly the plan and the hope.
I'll row it at the gym which is air con, albeit not brilliant. It's a little cooler today with a top of 35/98 and then Weds it's down to high 20s which is only a little hotter than normal for early Autumn. The heat wildcard will be sleep tonight. It was still in the mid 80s all the way through last night and it was tough to sleep. I got to sleep at about midnight but was then up from 4-6.30 before falling back asleep for 90 mins again.
Hopefully it'll be a little cooler tonight because otherwise I don't think I'll row if I get another **** sleep.
IDK. I'm being very Princessy and I know I'm in PR shape, but I'd much prefer to row without excuses because it's taken me a long while to get back into top shape and there's no guarantee I can get here again
