My aggregator app found an article with some tips on rowing. Thought I'd post the link here, in case it helps, or just makes you laugh.

Re: 17 Rowing Tips

some good advice can be found there. Although I will NOT follow this advice:
"For the ladies, you want to pull the handle to the bottom of your sports bra. For the men, pretend you’re wearing a sports bra."

Re: 17 Rowing Tips
Actually, in all seriousness, I find this is another advantage of wearing a heart rate strap - it gives me something to aim for, and also protects me from bruises when it hits that area!
