It’s amazing how much peer pressure helps, although I also think that for a lightweight as me, rowing on slides is a definite advantage. With the other rowers next to me, I didn’t have difficult rating up in the second half of the row. The plan was to stick to 1:54 pace for the first 2400m and be careful, but I did see a lot of 1:52 pace, and when I got enthusiastic, even some 1:52 and 1:51. Then, while the rest of the Masters started their 4x8min/2min workout (at 22/24/26/22spm), I started my 6k. It’s easier to rate up on slides, so I found myself doing 40spm for a few strokes. I did a nice long warming up with some speed bumps. Did I mention that I am considering buying slides for use at home? I found a local guy who can make them really cost effective.
I put the erg on slides, to get a bit closer to the OTW feeling, and, admittedly, also because erging a 6k is so much easier on slides. It snowed on Saturday, and I decided to do the Steady State workout on my erg in my basement, and move the 6k to Sunday, when a small group of our Masters rowers meet at the rowing club and erg together.

So, although it was supposed to be a hard 6k, I never intended it to be a full out one, this being my first or second OTW row of 2018. I planned a “hard 6k” for Saturday, anticipating that I would be able to do it on the water, in the single.
