I would still rather train in the day – although tonight wasn’t too bad as I knew from last weeks planning that the next few days will be evening training.
Had a sleep in this morning (littlen didn’t wake up until late and Mrs O went to work early) and generally sat around most of the day drinking coffee and watching TV.
This evening went out to the dungeon armed with the usual 3 T shirts and litre of water and some music (working my way through Bon Jovi – tonight’s choice was ‘Slippery when wet’, I had forgotten just how good it is as not heard it in years).
On with a small warm up just a few minutes then into the piece. Very pleased with tonight’s row, was thinking all the time strong, long and efficient and felt it. The pace drift was nothing like it has been of late, infact I think the last time I did any sort of pace at this hr was back in the summer. As per usual did a lot of ‘rowing blind’ and didn’t focus on the screen much – just the odd courtesy glance.
It’s funny how the body works, just a few weeks ago I couldn’t row 10km at anything less than around 1.58 split.
Good metres tonight.
