    8k indoor row. Pretty good session - time was 36.50, or 2.18 pace. It is my fastest 8k so far.

    Today was 5/3/1 bench followed up with some close grip bench, arms, abs and for the grand finale I did some tire flipping which really made me question my sanity

    55 min run.

    My knee feels great. I’m a teacher and I started back at school this week with an hour commute. Feeling the exhaustion and only got in 5 workouts this week that were pretty simple. Hoping I can get through the next week with 180 new students and figure out how to get my workouts in too...

    Trailered boats for an hour and a half: de-rigging, moving shells (boats) to the trailers, moving oars, making sure we had enough oars (thank god me and another person voiced our skepticism to each other, counted, and then consulted our coach...), etc. Lots of walking back and forth.

    Drove to Seattle, walked around the university district, and now I'm about to go to a cafe before going to my airbnb. It's not even 4 and I have nearly 8,600 steps, and that's despite little over three hours sitting in my car driving up here.

    edit: and after walking to said coffee shop, I'm up to 9,780 steps and I'm sure my garmin thinks I've walked up more floors than i have - Seattle being hilly and such.

    Best wishes for a strong and satisfying race(s)! Report back, eh? :flowerforyou:

    Thanks to you guys for the rowing advice. I did a very short row the other day to look at my form and I loosened my grip quite a bit—made a huge difference!

    Regatta report:
    Green Lake is pray to some really awful wind so save for the races early (like anything before 8am) the water was really choppy. I was in a quad and a 4. The quad was my first sculling race and it went pretty well all things considered. I mean we were more or less last, but we knew that would be the case given the makeup of the boat. I sat 2 and was complimented on my outside voice* by one of the people in my club who was helping us with or oars**.

    My 4 went a lot better. We were 5th on the water (out of 7) though had a crab not happened we probably would have been 4th. The conditions were marginally better than the race in the morning and our warm up was much better.

    After eating dinner, I walked around playing Pokemon Go for an hour - like one does on community day ;)

    *For people who have never sculled - if you're in a quad that isn't coxed (so 4 people rowing with two oars - one in each hand), the person in two makes all of the calls and essentially coxes the boat (save for steering - but you do relay the steering calls from the person in bow to the rest of the boat). I am, generally speaking, a very quiet person and am not especially confident with regards to rowing when all is said and done. I'm improving quickly, but I'm also likely the least experienced sculler in the whole club.

    **For the people who don't row on the water/haven't competed in a regatta - often (almost always?) when you go to the dock you have someone helping you/the crew with your oars due, in part, to speed but also because oars are long and cumbersome and, depending on the regatta, there are a lot of obstacles (people, other boats, etc), you need to maneuver in such a way so that an official can check the boat (which would necessitate dropping your oars, etc.

    Nothing to report for the past two days, and today will be another forced rest day. I have a nasty summer cold I’m trying to recover from. I really can’t stand being laid up, especially with the beautiful weather. Fingers crossed I’m back to myself tomorrow!

    @ Aoyoke - sounds like you had a great weekend! Congrats on your race. Sounds very fun. Pat yourself on the back for putting yourself slightly outside your comfort zone. I think everyone should do that now and again. Helps you grow massively in more ways than physical.

    90 minutes of cardio at the gym today. Really nice job of keeping the HR in check. 30 on the rower, then 30 on the stairmaster and 25 on the bike. Rest just between equipment having the HR fall naturally. Nothing over 70% of max. All between 65% and 70%, so true long, slow day.

    I lifted weights this morning.
    I warmed up with a 500m indoor row, which took 1.47. This is my best time for a sprint, and may be bordering on respectable.

    Then I squatted (90 kgs) and benched (55 kgs), both of which felt good. I finished with some facepulls.

    This evening, I swam 1k fairly slowly. I messed around a bit, doing a 2 length (40 metres) underwater swim, and doing backwards breaststroke for 1 length. This is a useful skill for scuba, so I occasionally do it in the pool.

    Thanks Mike! Out of my comfort zone was definitely where I was at given that it was my first sculling race and the water conditions were horrible. Rowing in general is essentially a bunch of me pushing myself fairly far outside of my comfort zone ;)

    Well done at the gym today! My rest day involved waking up early, driving for a while (but not as long as if I had left later), sleeping off and on all day, and then unloading a boat trailer in 90 degree heat.

    8/4/2019 - rest day and some serious napping and sleeping; I awakened feeling like a “rich man.”

    Back on the saddle today with a full load workout planned after a week of active rest and recovery.
