After launching off their wobbly plastic docks, we went upstream to the starting line doing some 20s at 3/4 pressure, 22 and 28 strokes per minute. Then we turned around and headed back down doing some 20s at 3/4 slide to get the rate up: 34, then 38. Finally a couple starting sequence pieces: five, ten, and ten strokes...
