I’m keeping this short and sweet today. I am extremely pleased with this workout – it turns out a few days away from the rowing machine has done me a lot of good!
I’ve just returned from my most consistent row thus far! I’m not sure I could have maintained 3500m+/15:00 splits for another hour but nevertheless I am feeling really positive and strong right now, this workout was just what I needed and I was further buoyed up when a couple of people who have seen me rowing of late came to ask what I might be training for! I showed them some pictures from the London Regatta Centre and talked a little about ocean rowing in general and the NOMAN race and campaign. One of them took this photograph:

Me and my training rig – every time I sit on the slide seat I have to remind myself that pain is inevitable and suffering is optional! [Click the picture to donate to the NOMAN Campaign: every dollar, pound, yen and rouble makes a difference]
