Should have been better, could have been worse

Not a lot of decent training this week due to the amount of stuff I was doing in rowing week and the erg test probably reflects this:

8/1 - Outing in VIII, run whilst coaching (about 6k).
9/1 - Ran with IV, 10k+ which included a bridge to bridge test in 7:27. At BH did 15k @18 1h02:22.5. HR 175 was a bit high, really.
10/1 - M1 outing with subs. Coached VIII on bike, then coxed IV in the afternoon.
11/1 - Weights and core due to cancelled outings.
12/1 - M1 outing and run whilst coaching of 10k+.
14/1 - 5k test @28 - 18:26.7. The main problem was that I realised I wasn't near my PB and yet wasn't really that likely to go over 18:30, so just sat there fairly comfortably.

This term, I will take the training up, with the intention of getting good at 2k tests for around Bumps time and then for Easter and the dev squad trials. And I still want to break 18 minutes.

unlucky tancock, i knew you'd be under 18:20 if you wanted to be. if only you'd bothered to do some proper training this week...

I'm not that bothered with it. Should be enough to get me into M1. Much better to peak at Bumps time than too early I suppose.
