I haven't been in a boat for over a week

Since my last blog, here are some highlights of trials:

25/10 - 20' @20 - 5313m (1:52.9), then 2x20' @18, 5'r, 1:59.7 and 1:59.5 splits.
26/10 - Weights, then 45' @18 - 1:58.9 splits I think.
29/10 - 3x6k where the middle one was at 2:15s or something stupid like that (felt shattered).
1/11 - 3x25', 5'r @ 18/20/22/20/18. 1:58.1, 1:58.0 and 1:57.4 splits.
3/11 - 8+ outing where I did 2 2.5k pieces at 26/28 drugged up on Paracetamol.
5/11 - Pulled out of 2k test due to illness.
6/11 - Practiced first 1k - 3:24. Then 30' @18 - only 2:06s but my chest felt really tight.
7/11 - 2k test. 6:55 or something. 1800m knowing you will get binned at the end - not fun.

So, as a King's rower again, I set about making myself feel better:

9/11 - 2k test again, 6:49.4 (@33). PB. 15k @18 - 1h00:57.5 (2:01.9 splits)
10/11 - Outing cancelled, so did 5k @30, 17:57.9. PB.
11/11 - 3x7k @18/18/19, 5'r. 1:59.1, 1:59.4 and 1:58.9 splits.

Well that's all for now. I hope everyone else is getting keen for Fairbairns...
