Adventures In Masochism: Race At The Limit

Rowing uses 86% of the human body's muscles compared with 44% for biking or running making it the most efficient all-body workout. It is no accident that space stations only have rowing machines for astronauts to work out on. Here on Earth, I had a Magical race with my championship 8. As we launch the boat our coxswain Barry Shaw takes charge, "All eight ready, ROW." Within moments the boat is set as a rock slaloming our way up the course in complete confidence for the warm-up and then the lengthy head race. Ah, i love rowing at the limit with some of my dearest and best friends. See you again at the Head of the Charles in Boston. Quads are ready. Let's keep training.
