December 2021 – Holiday Challenge

Most of this month was dedicated to racking up metres for the Concept 2 Holiday Challenge, which involved rowing 100,000m or 200,000m between 24 November and 24 December.

I managed a new PB for 2K on the 6th December of 7:45.0 which now placed me in the 62nd percentile.

I passed 100,000m and claimed the certificate on the 7th December.

I set a second PB for 2k on the 14th December of 7:33.8 which moved me up to the 73rd percentile.

I passed 200,000m and claimed the second certificate on the 18th December.

I set a new 5K PB on 21st December of 19:18.0, my first sub 20 minute 5K, which placed me in the 84th percentile.

Just before the end of the month, on 31st December, I set yet another 2K PB of 7:20.9 which set me in the 83rd percentile.

During the month of December I managed a total of 94 hours of exercise, walked 413km climbed 228 flights of stairs, cycled 0km and rowed 296km.

By Christmas my weight was 14 Stone 10lb, (206lb/93.6kg) however by the end of the month my weight was back up to 15 Stone 1lb (211lb/96kg), so looks like I over indulged a bit over the festive period, an overall gain of 4lb (1.8kg).
