After making sure the quad we are taking for the Gardalonga regatta next week is seaworthy, we took her for a quick spin.
Nothing too strenuous, but the sun was beating down and the seat a little uncomfortable.
about 17km in all
05.05.17 C2 training
Yesterday was the daughters 17. birthday, so I found little time to do the scheduled training.
Decided rather than try to fit it in to do it a day later.
The session was a 3x5km with 2 mins rest between the intervals.
The active part was rate restricted 18 / 22 / 18 with target paces of 1:58 / 1:52 / 1:58
a very decent workout !!
03.05.17 C2 Training
30 minutes was planned. The typical 30R20 target pace 2k + 18.
I decided on 1:56 as I don’t really have a decent 2k time, and I didn’t really feel like doing one beforehand.
Instead of a straight 30, I dialled in a 60. The second half being a UT2 type row at R18 – target pace 2:05
02.05.17 C2 Training
time to flush out the legs witha nice relaxing R18, strapless HalfMarathon.
Target was sub 145 HR, a little bit higher than normal, but nothing strenuous.
Had to cut it short as I ran out of time:

01.05.17 Bank Holiday Fun Part II
Starting the new indoor rowing season doing some preperation base building stuff.
The plan is from Casey, a fellow sub7-er and theres a few of us doing it.
Todays session was a 3x 6km interval training with 1:30 rest.
the intervals was using different (low) rates, R18/R20/R22, with target paces based on current 2k pace:
| 3 x 6k R1:30 | Targets | |
| 1) 6000m | 2k + 18 | 1:58 / 500 |
| 2) 6000m | 2k + 16 | 1:56/ 500 |
| 3) 6000m | 2k + 14 | 1:54 /500 |
I managed to keep all the targets and the RPE for that piece was about 6.
01.05.2017 Bank Holiday Fun!
Took out a 2x+ that had been refitted for 3.
This was my first time in the pilot seat (Rower #1). We didn’t hit anything or sink, so it dodn’t go to bad.
Not sure I kept the inside line though 🙂

bah. .
12 days off the erg due to lurgy / trips.
today still not 100% and debated wether I should jump on or not. glad I decided to
it was a sweaty mess, but I limited to 135 HR, strappless R18.
Thought i might have trouble with the HR, but the slower pace was ok.
Average daily meters dropped under 12k/day for the first time this season 🙁 [meh!]
but this was #115 HM of the season :/ [yeh!]
also getting very good at aiming the snotrocket into a bucket…

Recovery HM after yesterdays longer row.
Jus ta really slow R18 low heartrate stuff
20.03.2017 C2 Training
Decided to try and test the water today.
Dialled in a 100k and just decided to see how far I could get.
First few hours were ok, no problems with the pace
I hit the first 20k without a break, and then wanted to do 10km stints.
After about 40k the first cramp came in – needed more breaks which was effecting the pace quite a bit.
Decided to quit after 5 hrs. Teen had made lunch and it seemed a shame not to 🙂
