Thursday morning at the work gym, 12,015m (52:36.9) for the C2 Holiday Challenge,

Shower, breakfast and up to my desk for an 09:00 meeting.

Thursday evening rowing, 15,019m (1:06:34.9) while waiting for everyone else to arrive (failed to save yet again)

2 x 20:00, 2:00r UT2 workout @20spm

Core session 1:00 V-Sit, Plank, Dead Bug, Side Plank Left and Right with 30 12Kg Russian twists between each exercise, finished off with some stretching (36,646m for the day).

Friday Morning Rest day, took the dog for a long walk.

Saturday morning rowing, 10,032m (46:24.3) ‘warm up’ waiting for the others to arrive,

40:00 UT2 workout, well it was supposed to be UT2, but seeing as I had just done a UT2 ‘warm up’ I did this at UT1 instead.

10,058m (46:18.2) ‘cool down’ completed my 3 x 10K(ish) UT2, UT1, UT2 session for the day and also took me over the 400,000m line for the C2 Holiday Challenge.

I had been using a different Erg this morning, in an attempt to stop the C2 ErgData app from crashing on me, however this one seems to pick up the stroke rate somewhat erratically, hence the mass of black on the UT2 graphs.

Total this week for the C2 Holiday Challenge is 87,995m, taking my final total to 400,481m, just over 1,000m less than last year.

I do have one more day of the challenge, but since we had no official rowing on Christmas Eve, I decided to have a break

Sunday Morning Rest day, took the dog for a long walk.
