Day 26: Ready, set, row
I have always enjoyed rowing more than running. Certainly for me the elliptical is the easiest of the cardio machines. Next up probably the bike. But the rower and I are better friends than the treadmill for sure.
During my freshman year of college, I briefly trained with the Crew team with the goal of trying out for coxswain since I don't quite fit the physique of a typical rower. But alas, that didn't last long. I couldn't handle the 5:30 AM runs to practice. Not because of the early hour; because I'm not a runner.
Once I started doing CrossFit I was reintroduced to the rowing machine. We use it often as a warm up, or as the cardio aspect when it's too cold or rainy to run outside. And though I enjoy it typically, I'm still a sprinter and burn out quickly when it comes to doing anything over 1K distance. It's one of the many times in my life I have wished for longer legs!
