    This evening didn't go as planned, my workout was later than expected and then I was even more delayed by a dead HRM battery.
    So a mini workout: a 2.5km run in 15min57. Starting at 8.5kph, 0.5kph increases every 500m.

    No surprise, more rowing. It was another coached row day, and on the way there it was spitting rain so I was worried that I'd blown the call on the weather. However, it did clear up as predicted, and the lightning didn't get near until a couple of hours post row, so everything was fine.

    I was bow in the quad, and only the quad was being coached: The luxury of full coach-ly attention to the four of us in one boat! We did one- and two-part pause drills, slide control drills, then wrapped up with some ratings (strokes per minute) ladders at increased power. Total distance around 9.5k.

    Incline Bench Press 4x10

    Just as I was getting started, got called out to deal with a family emergency. By the time everything was settled again, restarting the workout was no longer an option.

    I shore dived Sheringham in Norfolk, doing the chalk reefs. It was lovely; 1.5 hour shallow bimble seeing flounders, crabs, squat lobster and gobies.

    Sunday
    Climbing. Good fun, I got some technically really difficult slab. 2 hour session.

    Naturally, more rowing.
    Just under 7k in bow of the double this morning with my friend J in stroke, all moderate pace because I'd done something to my low back (not major) so was stiff and a bit uncomfortable (maybe just slept wrong, not sure).

    Tonight another easy row, only about 2k, I was rowing a rec single close to one of our recent learn-to-row graduates in another single, checking off items on her basic rowing skills test as she completed them. The most amusing part was finding obstacles for her to get safely stuck in so she could demonstrate ability to get out. In most cases, it was harder for her to do the "get stuck on purpose" part than the "escape" part! Either way, the objective of demonstrating good maneuvering in odd circumstances was served. At the end, I failed one of the skills tests that she had to do (backing into the dock), on my first go. :D:D:D (My second try worked, fortunately. ;) ) But she got it in one!

    Climbing. It was supposed to be my weekly lesson. However, trains were broken so I ended up in different gym. I started off really badly. However, after 45 minutes it started to improve, and by the end of 2.5 hours it has turned into a pretty good session.

    Tuesday
    Day off, so 12 mile walk and some light hang boarding with loads of pull ups.

    Monday

    Strength: Upper Body - Power

    Bench Press - 5x5
    Cable Row - 5x5
    Seated BB OHP - 3x10

    Analysis: My work relief showed up an hour late, thus I started my commute an hour late just as rush hour began, thus I got to the gym nearly two hours late and didn't have time for a full workout. This is getting to be a pattern, having to abort workouts or cut them short when I workout after work instead of first thing in the morning before like I prefer. This phase of training new personnel will only be a couple more weeks, then I can return to normal pattern.

    Tuesday

    Cardio: Incline Treadmill Walk - 1 hour (500 calories)

    Didn't post yesterday's row: I was in 2 seat of a quad, and we were out with a rower from our learn-to-row class who hadn't previously rowed a quad with experienced rowers. She was in 3 seat, i.e., right in front of me. We did some drills, but generally only moderate steady state pace. She did great, but we wanted to keep the first row really manageable and fun for her, which she said it was. :) It was the usual just under 7k distance, and the weather was perfect.

    Betcha I rowed again. Coached row, bow of the double, about 9k. Lucky me, the stroke rower who was in my boat today is an assistant coach of the local NCAA Div I women's rowing team, and not so long ago a successful collegiate rower herself. Rowing with her is like the boat equivalent of riding an e-bike: Going fast without much effort of my own. (I tried hard, though!) As usual, it was a mix of drills and some harder-push interval pieces.

    I participated in a Paddlecross race to support a local non-profit. I had some crazy idea that I might win the under ten-foot kayak category. Let's just say I did a lot worse than I expected. The worst part is I let all that get into my head, and I can't shake it.

    I identified my main competition well before we started. I have a fast boat; so did he. He was in his 20s too. The other boats weren't necessarily fast boats. I watched the fast guy pull away pretty quickly. I was second for a while until I got passed by another fellow, probably in his 30s or early 40s. I paced him hoping he'd lose steam and I'd pass. About a mile before the end of the race, the other early 20s paddler passed me. I told him he was just teasing me the whole time. He said, "Let's go pass that other guy." I told him I thought I was done. He said, "Nah - you can do it; let's go." That was pretty neat, and I came in just a few seconds after him.

    I was able to pass three paddlers in the 10-foot and over category, so it's not like I was slow, but I really let it get into my head. I hope I can shake it.

    I wonder how I would have done if I had entered the long boat category and took my canoe. For sure I wouldn't have beat the top three in that class. One was on a surf ski, and the other two top finishers were in long sea kayaks. Sea kayaks are usually just flat out faster than canoes. Oddly, the surf ski came in third. It was a borrowed boat. I might have been faster than the fourth sea kayak, but maybe not. Next year I don't think I'll race, or maybe I'll enter the canoe or get in a tandem with another paddler. Maybe I'll just be a safety boat and have fun and not have to race.

    I think this may be the first time I've entered any kind of race as an adult. I guess I'm not a racer.

    I and out in an hour flat. Managed this by going right as the doors opened and cutting my rest times to 1 minute. Wasn't too busy yet, so no waits for machines though I did have to do my shoulder press before instead of after my decline press due to usage.
