Wow what a few years not rowing does to you. I was never anything dramatic anyway, but that was quite depressingly difficult.
Water rowers are apparently more comparative to real rowing because there are no bearings to warm up etc. just water behaving like water, so staying constant rather than starting stiff and getting easier.
I didn't know what to expect, but I didn't expect to get to 20 minutes and feel like that was enough. Not out of puff etc. just body saying it wasn't used to this and didn't like it. It will have to get used to it anyway.
4.692km in 20 minutes
The trip across the channel will however be just over 37km and at that pace would take over 2.5 hours, so allowing for fatigue and conditions at least 3 hours. I have work to do getting ready for this.
