Really well. I am varying the intensities, of course. Yesterday was an easy paddle combined with walking and spin-cycling, then 22 x 25m laps of the pool. The day before was somewhat more intensive -- more time and dialed up resistance on the pull.

What I really like about the way I am rowing is... the way I am rowing. The old technique returned quite rapidly. If there is one thing my coach way back then, Ian Sampson, drilled into me/us, it was the style -- and that was not pulling into the stomach.

I've got the rhythm working really well, and I am concentrating of getting stretch forward before the start of the stroke.

The only thing I find a bit of a nuisance is the handle. I just can't quite the movement right to emulate feathering of the oar -- the grips need to be designed so they rotate to achieve that.

What I am liking is that the rowing is a workout for the shoulders and back, and both those are important to me in long-distance cycling, especially the core muscles for support.
