My Injury Nightmare by Paul Thomas

Due to my broken butt I wasn't exactly in the mood for sitting on an erg. In fact I feared I may never sit astride the hard metal beam I have come to love ever again.

@!£$**! That.

Did a whole 2k without stopping, in 7.22, which was a PW (personal worst)

(being serious this was actually a pretty decent session) Did my first ever 10k in 40.41 and weights. As I'm wasting time until I finish work here is what I did: leg press, 3x10 at 210kg; leg extensions, 1x10 at 70 and 3x10 at 75; leg curl (i think?) 3x10 at 70kg; seated row 3x10 at 65kg; did 2 or 3 upper body machines as well but can't remember their names or the wieights I did.

Then I went to my new house in the country (rather!) and spent a long weekend sitting on my arse playing poker, trivial pursuit and pool. I now genuinely believe I can make the necessary improvements to make no discernable improvement whatsoever. I will not fail through an abundance of determination.
