After months of neglect it's time to brush the dust off and make sure the ability to row hasn't diminished into a slovenly state of a ill repute. It's worth reiterating that rowing a PR requires preparation and training. Today's effort was marginal at best. A bleeding soul and punctured coronary compressor did little to maintain world record pace. Reaching the highest state of potential, especially within the coziness of comfort, is not necessarily the end of the road. We are our own worst enemies when it comes to coupling a little bit of work with a modicum of ability. Setting PRs and breaking records requires more than the monthly or weekly visitation. Finding solace in distress and sacrifice, i.e. giving up one skill for exploiting another, is the only honorable path to personal domination. If PRs happened undeclared (or by chance) then we can't really attribute them to dedicated training. You can't test your mettle until you reach your potential.
