I'm back...and on a mission

I am going to get into a crew shell this Spring. And row. At 5:00am. With the DBCC Masters Crew. (D.v.).

The boys took a learn to row class followed by a learn to race class at the boat club this summer, and they love it and want to continue it. But for me it did three things
1) made me realize how much I want to row again
2) made me realize how out of shape I completely am
3) and made me realize how old I am.

I can help # 1 & 2.
I discovered #3 (as well as #2) when I rowed in a quad one day with Sam, Andrew and Coach Benz. I was sore for a week. Muscles I hadn't used in quite a while! I used to recover pretty quickly from a workout when I was a 20 year old....

So - onward and upward.
