    Sunny and near record warmth this afternoon. 84 degrees at the start of our ride. Three of us went 21 miles at a 17mph pace. The foliage is starting to really change. Hoping for a few more rides before the leaves are down.

    More rowing in bow of the double, maybe 1k farther than usual. Lovely day, flat water, and colors starting to change here, too.

    I’m currently doing a Beachbody program called Liift More— it’s a combination of weight training and hiit exercises. I do that 5x a week and run anywhere between 3-7mi a day depending on the weather and how much time I have. Yesterday was back/triceps/hiit and today is glutes/hamstrings and then walking a 5.5mi loop with my kids this evening.

    Yesterday and today I was pushed for time due to work, so yesterday all I could manage was a pilates bar workout and today I did a core/glute pilates workout. Been getting my steps in as much as possible too.

    Was meant to work tomorrow but it's been cancelled so will take the opportunity to get to the gym.

    Still rowingRowingRowing, bow of the double, pretty easy pace since we were trying to keep an eye on the single that was out with us.

    Water and air are getting cooler, plus there was a light but sharp breeze first thing. The rower platitude for racing singles is "it's not IF you flip, it's WHEN you flip". Cold is dangerous, and in the double we can help single rowers if they do so. (Racing singles are about 12" (30.5cm) wide at the waterline, 26 feet (8m) long . . . tippy. :D

    It was a beautiful morning, though cool, and the row felt especially relaxed (good) and smooth for some reason today. In rowing, it's important to relax all the parts that aren't contributing to the work, so this was good.

    Took a spin class this morning, the first one I've done in over a year. It kicked my butt. I needed that.

    Full body workout in the gym this morning, my usual split of 4 lower body/4 core/4 arm exercises. All the machines had been moved around in the gym so I was very confused for a while!

    Monday
    Climbing. A training session. I was terrible, but the session was fun

    Wednesday
    A new yoga place has opened near me, so I did an hour.

    Thursday
    Climbing. It was fun; I was in form. I got a load of new projects. I also got a 6b+ graded one, which is quite rare for me at this gym. It was an utterly terrifying slab.

    Saturday
    Climbing. Another very good session, with a mixture of successes on scary slab an thought overhangs. Some of them were grade v4, but I think they were easier than that.

    Sunday is meant to be horse riding day but pony is still a bit lame so we did 40 minutes of long lining instead. Then I went to the gym, warmed up with elliptical and then did a combo of machines and weights. Tried to focus more on core and arms today as will be cycling partway to work the next two days so thought I'd give lower body a rest.

    More rowing, bow of the quad for me, sharp breeze and temps in the 40F (maybe 5-6C). Kept the pace moderate, newer rower in the boat still learning some basic technique. We did some technical drills for things that were needing it.

    I was in a quad rowing shell on Saturday, but as a coxswain for the club's Fall color row. The only workout was lungs/vocal cords, because we don't have a cox box (amplification system for coxswain's calls). Gotta yell, sitting at one end of a 44-foot (13.4m) boat, so all 4 rowers can hear. (No, we don't say "stroke, stroke, stroke' :D . Like not ever.)

    Cardio: Elliptical, one hour, hills - 812 calories

    Lifting:
    Bench Press 5x5 (Last set 10 reps)
    Cable Row 5x5

    Left elbow's sore, and my schedule is still wonky, but should return to normal in just a couple weeks. So I'm laying off lifting for a couple weeks, only getting a bare minimum amount to maintain where I'm at.
