I’m still rowing with Rivanna Rowing Club. This is my third session of classes and I’ve learned the basics pretty well and have the callused hands to prove it.
We have been sculling exclusively. I like it a little bit better than sweep rowing but, at least for me, it was harder to pick up. The technique is more subtle and you have to pay a lot more attention to your hands and the balance of the boat.
The season is almost over. It’s been really fun. I plan to continue with it. It’s a great workout and a nice change from riding and running.
