I was really surprised to see this eight man shell out on the harbor in this weather. It was about 38 degrees today, and I bet the water was cooler than that. It wasn't that long ago that there was ice all over the harbor. Man, this HAS to be cold! When they get going, they will get warm enough from their exertion. But when they are just sitting there, listening to instructions from their coach... whew!
The coxswain must really be cold. I would imagine yelling stroke doesn't burn many calories.
ReplyDeleteGood Point! All he does is sit and holler. You are right!
