Is anyone else doing any training?

The silence suggests the answer is no, and the fact that my ergs are virtually the only ones in the memory in the erg room confirms that. Some people...

As for me, this week has been as follows:

13/3 - Outing in the 8. Rest day for erging and didn't go to circuits.
14/3 - 2k at 31s/m, fixed, 7:11.6. Followed by 30' (sliders), 7,664m at 24s/m. (1031m warm-up, cool-down)
15/3 - Outing in 4 when I managed to moan at everyone at least once. Sorry guys. 5k in 18:22.9 @25, fixed (where an Earth did that come from?!) (1119m).
16/3 - 30mins kicking a football around - Natscis v. Engineers (I played as a Natsci). Used strange muscles during it! 30 mins, 7,682m @23 - sliders. (1062m).
17/3 - Outing in 8 in the morning cancelled and I wasn't in the 4 that went out. 2k in 7:02.5 @26 - fixed. (1126m).
18/3 - 10k in 39:21.1 @ 21, sliders. (1066m). Tennis - tried out new racket - what an improvement in my power. Lost 6-1 6-1, but that hides the fact that I took most games in the 2nd set to deuce and was messing around trying things with the racket.
19/3 - 2*5k, 5'r. 19:09.5 and 19:04.6, both at 24 and on the sliders. (1151m).

Not a bad week, two PBs and the realisation that if I can improve my aerobic fitness I can get well under 7 minutes for a 2k. Few bad ergs here and there, but could have been much worse.

Target at start of week: 699,076m. Weekly total: 50,901m. End of week target 648,175m.
