Monday morning rest day apart from a long walk with the dog.<\/p>\n

The C2 Fall Team Challenge<\/a> is now well into its first week and I have so far only banked 7,247m from my warm up sessions over the weekend – a slow start this year.<\/p>\n

Tuesday morning rowing, Half marathon, low heart rate ‘fat burner’ with a burst at the end to finish under 1 hour 40 minutes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tuesday evening archery, fun shoot, 10 different ways of scoring, the shoot was enjoyed by everyone.<\/p>\n

Wednesday morning rowing, 1,024m (4:58.0) warm up, then the C2 workout of the day was a 5,000m time trial.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Went out to with too ambitious a goal, stopped twice, finished nearly a minute down on my PB. Fatigue from yesterday\u2019s half marathon, a bad night and the tail end of a cold all contributed. 2,233m (11:14.7) cool down and stretching.<\/p>\n

Thursday morning in at the work gym, 2,000m (10:14.8) warm up, then 10,000m rate capped at 18spm for best time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I was hoping for sub 40 minutes, but that wasn’t happening. This was a real leg burner. 2,239m (10:56.7) cool down and stretching, shower and breakfast before heading to my desk.<\/p>\n

Tuesday evening rowing, thunder just before the session so I sat down on the erg and bashed out 8,516m (36:19.2) at a variety of rates and paces before finally heading out on the water with Jonathan in a fine 2x.<\/p>\n

I was steering, we needed to work on balance, so that was the main focus for the short session (6,760m).<\/p>\n

Friday was another rest day<\/p>\n

Saturday morning rowing, 7,013m (32:50.1) warm up for masters rowing, 8+, #7 seat bow side again, only made it to the motorway bridge before #2 seat shoe came loose and we had to go in to sort it out (3,907m).<\/p>\n

Since the session was so short I came back in and started a steady state row, this turned into 50 minutes of 18spm, another 15Km in just over an hour.<\/p>\n

Walked into Staines for my usual Thai spicy chicken and rice before heading back to the boat house.<\/p>\n

Saturday afternoon leisure rowing, in my 1x, \u2018Dark Horse\u2019, lumpy water was not the best for building confidence (6,421m).<\/p>\n

Sunday morning rowing, 5,509m (26:42.5) warm up for masters rowing, interrupted to help with a boat. Masters rowing 4-, stroke seat, 18spm winter training (9,176m).<\/p>\n

Sunday afternoon archery, we were hosting a double header against Laleham Archery Club and Aquarius Archery Club.<\/p>\n

The weather turned bad just as we started shooting nd several of our newer members packed up before the end of the first dozen.<\/p>\n

It brightened up before the end of the 50m distance and then remained dry for the remainder of the shoot.<\/p>\n

As expected, we lost both of the made score competitions, but won both of the handicap competitions.<\/p>\n

79,642m this week for the C2 Fall Team Challenge<\/a>, which added to the 7,247m from last week puts me at 86,889m<\/p>\n
