I think I had the beginnings of an annoying bug over the last week or so. I certainly woke up on Saturday feeling pretty awful, in spite of the fact I got to bed pretty early. Tongue is still wonderfully white, which may be due to the number of Polos I seem to have consumed recently!
I have had a couple of attempts in the erg room, haven't really got past about 2k of a 10k. Have played a decent amount of tennis and been out on the river a couple of times:
28/4 - Sculling on my own - went to P+E, back to Goldie, back to P+E and then back to the BH.
29/4 - Lock plus the reach again in the 8.
2k erg test was a brilliant piece of tactical rowing. I realised on Monday morning I was not 100%, so I set out to do 1.47 splits or so, with the intention of winding it up in the last 500m. Ended up with 7:01.5. Admittedly on the sliders I should get 6.55ish, but I didn't want to blow up and get a 7.10 or so.
I also managed to do:
22/4 - 8033m in 30m @27 on the sliders
25/4 - Messed around with some sprinting after failing to get that far into 10k - 500m in 1:38.4 @40 Fixed, and then 200m in 36.1 @ 49 on the sliders.
As a result I have lost count in the 750km challenge, which irritates me greatly. I'll start on the erg again today hopefully, with a gentle something or other, and get back into it.
So far this week; I've done the two outings and a bike ride of 27.18 miles at an average speed of 18.5mph. Pictured is my heart rate data; over an hour at UT1. Playing squash tonight but first I have to learn about nuclear power engineering!
