It's Friday. End of the week. 21 minutes of easy rowing, 18–20 strokes a minute, and a non-zero chance the doorbell goes mid-row because the boiler engineer is on his way.
That's the jeopardy. You're welcome.
Along the way we get into the mathematics of appliance protection plans — specifically the grim realisation that we've spent about £700 protecting a washing machine that cost £200. It's fine. It's fine.
Then we get into something actually useful: the Box of Power. It's a way of thinking about your handle pull and elbow position at the finish of the stroke — keeping everything connected and powerful all the way through. The kind of thing that's easy to let slip, especially when fatigue starts to creep in on a long row.Come for the Friday feeling, stay for the elbow chat.
