On the Water.

"Think of aerobics plus weight lifting minus the music or camaraderie. Combine unalloyed endurance with straightforward strength and demand poise, timing, and practiced form as well. Think of pure pain: that's the ergometer."
Barry Strauss from "Rowing Against the Current"

Today was extremely busy with the time divided between visiting mum and clearing out more cupboards in the house. On the way back at lunchtime I stopped for a minute by the River Lagan to enjoy the view and watch a rower going through her paces in a training session out on the water.
