Lights, camera, oxygen!
Following on from yesterday's braggarts-r-we post I managed a personal best for 5,000m row: 18:36.1. Woot! now pass the oxygen, there's a good chap.)
What was pleasing about this row was that, apart from not feeling totally stuffed at the end of it (but not enthused enough to try to sprint the final 250m), all 1,000m combinatons were sub 7:30 minute 2,000m - in fact the slowest 1,000m was 3:44.2 so double that and I was still able to manage a sub 7:30 2,000m.
Sanity prevailed and I forewent the opportunity to be upfront and personal with the state of my lungs and declined a 2,000m row to finish today's session. I had new gym shoes so used the treadmill instead. This afternoon my body likes, so I must have made the right choice.
Now for the weekend and so riotous living. Okay, sedate but with lots of calories.
