Well, today I made it out of the three seat for rowing, but sadly I was moved to the four. I was just getting the hang of starboard and then I had to row port! I hadn't rowed port since the learn to row program and it felt so awkward. I kept getting my oar caught on my thighs or in the water and it was hard to feather with my right hand. Also, it was over 90 with a feels like of 97, which isn't really the best outdoor exercise weather, especially for me. Fortunately there was a little bit of a breeze on the water so it didn't feel quite so hot. Also, there was a group that rowed right before us, and they left the boat set up, so we didn't have to carry it down to the water.
As we were waiting to get started I realized that I forgot my socks. I was so bummed. But then our cox gave me his! They were a little gnarly, but it was so nice of him, and I'm sure I would have been miserable without socks (and on port in the 97 degree weather). I'm going to put some socks in the trunk of my car so that I'm ready next time.
Our workout was pretty chill because of the heat. Still, we went 8.8 km. When I left to go row I really questioned my life choices, but I'm glad I went! Tomorrow is supposed to be even hotter, though. I may not leave home.
