ah sounds like i've got the opposite issue! I'm a young buck yet, turning 19 tomorrow (the first) as it turns out. I'm Rowing here at college on the crew team so i'm used to being in freezing weather at the crack of dawn. makes the trek in the midday and afternoon all that much nicer! i'll pay for all my body punishing in a score or two though... don't yet have the proud badge of arthritis under my belt and the ability to say i earned it!
