Sigh…

Not that I had a lot of choice repairing a custom-built rowing shell without appropriate replacement parts, but here's the dilemma: the foot stretcher — the toe end in particular — now sits up higher. High enough to put my wedding ring between the black bar and the notched rail it should engage.

Now I have two choices: (1) hope that I am not big-and-strong enough for that missing point of contact to be relevant, or (2) raise up that middle track with a spacer underneath it.

I may not find out this year as the water is getting cooler and my opportunities for safe, solo rows are getting fewer. Perhaps over the winter I should just raise up that middle track and just remove the uncertainty.

Of course, this exercise pursuit can be a matter of centimeters and millimeters, so will all this matter or not? Since I'm not an Olympic-level athlete, I'm guessing that this width-of-my-wedding-band won't really matter.
