    Bad row was bad. It was my first time bowing a quad and the quad I was in had really terrible steering. We could only steer to starboard for the first half and then my coach made some on the water adjustments. Then coming back we hit another quad (thankfully it was one of our club's and not the juniors - I would have felt that much more bad than I do now), not hard but it was more than clashing oars (barely more), and as we were taking the boat out of the water two of the four of us had trouble getting it up over heads and as a result my glasses fell and are now living at the bottom of the river (two of the people have a sheer lack of upper body strength and I think said two are in their 70s? plus it's an especially heavy quad).

    Thankfully I had my prescription sunglasses with me so I safely drove myself to the optometrist's office to get new glasses (they'll be here in a week or two - probably a week and a half) and now I'm eating breakfast because taking myself out to breakfast is the only logical kind thing I can think of to do right now with regards to any sort of self care. Thank god I have therapy in 3 and a half hours.

    @ Aokoye - sounded like you got two workouts. Rowing and dealing with the boat! Wow, sorry about your glasses!

    One hour today. The HRM has been useful and confirmed what I've suspected all along. I tend to work harder on the rower than the Assault Bike. Was going to try to do an hour HR capped workout on the rower. I like to keep my recovery days around 130 to 135 BPM (roughly equates to around 65% to 70% of HRR). I stopped the row at 45 minutes because I was drifting into the mid 140s. Finished with 15 minutes on the Assault Bike at around 130 BPM, back around my target. Didn't even look at meters on the rower, totally concerned with only HR. 2:28 pace @ 45 minutes, whatever that is (the meters store on my rower and ErgData, the app I use, though I didn't have it open today, only the HR app was open on my phone). So roughly 9K meters I would guess.

    Today I went bouldering for 75 minutes. It was a very good session - I went up a lot of stuff that had eluded me before. (These were mainly 6a or 6a+ with Font grading.)

    They are rebuilding the competition room, so some of my projects have vanished.

    Tuesday is my crazy day.

    30min stair workout in PT, she had me wearing the weighted vest running up and down the stairs until she was satisfied my hr was high enough.

    3.1 mile progressive run, 6min easy, 6min tempo, 6min threshold, cool down to 3.1

    45min zumba

    45min insanity (urgh so hard)

    50min boxercise- partnered up with the slave driver

    Same-y same-itude: Monday the 7k-ish row in the double, Tuesday spin class.

    @aokoye: S**k-y s**kitude s**ks. Better next time. Don't let the bowing thing scare you: It happens.

    @MikePfirrman: Nice to see you building back so beautifully! Gives me hope for no-dead-ends after setbacks.

    Thanks Ann. Needless to say, I ordered those floating lanyard things for my glasses and I managed to find a spare pair of glasses from four or five years ago. Thanks to the logistics of Amazon, the lanyards should get here tomorrow so I'll have them for my Thursday row.
    I also emailed the main sculling coach about setting up a private sculling lesson (with me in a single) because, as one of my friends has said, "Adam doesn't really run away from his rowing anxiety, he cuddles right up next to it" ;)

    Yeah, today was definitely a mental workout with regards to rowing. I ended up text messaging one of my friends who is an experienced rower, one of our better coxes, and is now coaching for us as well which was helpful in terms of getting out of my own head.

    Well done on the erging as of late too! It's been nice reading about your comeback.

    Just a few miles of walking, in multiple shorter segments - I pulled my calf over the weekend, and I want to hike up a mountain next weekend, so I've got to be a bit careful!

    Curious, are you doing the other parts of your workout while "sitting out" for the 15-minutes recovery of the Fighter Pull-ups Program?

    There are a lot of form police who will comment that a pull-up isn't a pull-up unless you have a dead-hang pause at the bottom. What are your thoughts and practice on this?

    I do the handstand pushup and pull-up as a superset.

    Dead hang or it's not a strict pull-up, IMO.
    Of course there are people who can't dead hang due to elbow pain etc. But for healthy individuals...

    July 2- 80:20 fast finish foundation run 40minutes
    July 3- 80:20 recovery run 40 minutes

    The 80% easy running makes running early in the morning much easier on me and warms up my arthritic joints for the day :)

    7/3/2019 - mid-afternoon at my office -

    Bar dips x 5 plus 24kg KB two-hand swing x 15 every 1:25 for 20 rounds (100 bar dips and 300 KB swings) completed in 27:40. Will rest remainder of today as my plan is to run a July 4th 5-miler fun run if I, God willing, awaken in the morning and don't wobble out of bed like a old rodeo cowboy.
