Saturday morning rowing, still ‘red boards’ but we took our 8+ over to Quintin Rowing Club and had an outing on the Tideway, I was in the #6 seat.
This was recorded as 2 sessions and still missed the start as I forgot to hit ‘ready’ when we set off for our warm up, then missed another section when the same thing happened again after the SpeedCoach turned off when we sat still for too long.
Total recorded meters were 8,715m, but the session was probably closer to 10,000m.
Sunday morning rowing, 5,016m (23:56.1) ‘warm up’, then putting the boat back together, then out on the ‘orange boards’ river for a practice session in the 8+, I was in the #6 seat, forgot to hit start once again, so missed off the first 2,000ish meters on the way up to the motorway bridge.
we did a piece from the top to the bottom, not very level and not much fun.
Recorded 4,951m for the session, but was probably closer to 7,000m
Total this week for the C2 Holiday Challenge is 41,732m
