Oh my god Barfield is on the blog! I haven't been dreaming about the new boat, however I have been fighting the urge to organise some sort of random outing in it over the holidays so I get to row in it. But that just wouldn't be fair on you poor souls training your little hearts out and not even getting to christen the new boat would it? Of course if everyone isn't bothering to train... MUAHAHAHAHA. Anyway, my training after HORR:
Saturday: Sports massage in the car on the way home to relieve possibly the most muscle pain I've had after a race.
"Outing" with the Old Boys rugby team to the Gandhi and back. Exercises included "bunny ears", "gentlemen's drinking rules" and "twenty plus one". Did a lamb bhuna, rice, naan, sag aloo and two poppadums at about 2:00 splits, but things got a little blurry halfway through.
Monday: 10k @ 18, 2:02.4 splits and then about 40 mins of technical stuff.
Tuesday: 11k @ 18, 2:01.4 splits. Was supposed to be a 15k. On about 7k in started feeling awesome and took it up to about 1:59 splits. Then promptly died at about 10.5k.
Thursday: 15k @ 18, 2:01.7 splits. Much better, started at 2:04 splits and wasn't going hard at the end.
Saturday: 15k @ 18, 1:59.6 splits.
Sunday: 5k of 15k @ 18, 1:59.5 splits. Tried to repeat yesterday but at a constant split rather than taking it up, for some reason was much harder! Dinner and dehydration caused problems...

I was going to say it was nice to see the old Hairy back, pounding out 15k ergs at sub 2:00 splits without any problem. Oh well, let's just hope the giving up 5k in is a one-off.
