While the calendar says it’s spring, it sure doesn’t feel like it here on the east coast! Despite that, I’m sure many of you are beginning to venture out onto the water to begin the 2013 season. There are so many things to think about during those first few weeks back in the boat, but none more important, I believe, than staying relaxed.

In preparation for our 2013 season, John and I have been studying the 2012 Olympic Games Rowing DVD. There’s some really incredible racing and I highly recommend anyone getting a copy of the DVD.

One of the interesting things about being a masters athlete is that I know there will come a time when I won’t be able to get any faster. In rowing, that time has long gone! But I took up swimming again as an adult about eight years ago and if I continue to improve my technique, I can continue to get faster, even though I’m not as strong as I once was.

As the days get shorter and the temperatures colder, many of us have put away our boats and started in on our indoor conditioning. I know a lot of you dread this time of year, so I’m hoping to provide some ideas to make it easier to keep going with your workouts through the long winter months.

We just returned from a fabulous weekend at the Head of the Charles. Couldn’t have asked for better weather on Saturday, and Sunday, though cooler and breezy, was sunny and dry. With over 8,000 participants, ranging from beginners to Olympic gold medalists, from high schoolers (and younger), to 80+-year-old senior-veterans, it’s a great regatta for participants and spectators alike.
