As I was home for a couple of weeks I decided to take last week off from training. However, I did go to the gym yesterday and do my usual start of holiday erg test to see where I am at.
2k this time, in 6:50.2. That is 0.8s outside my PB, which will do nicely. I rated 28/29 off the start and then took it up slightly through the middle 1k. Last 500m rated 33. Splits were consistent, between 1:42.3 and 1:42.7.
I get the feeling that if I can work on my speed over the next few weeks, then a PB at the start of term erg test is not beyond me. Will be doing some long ergs, but will throw in a few 3x2k, 5x500m and similar stuff to get used to pushing myself a bit more.
I also did some weights after the erg test and now my upper body hurts.
Went to the Henley Boat Races on Saturday. CUW were only a canvas down as they came past me and looked like they might move through to win, but OUW managed to push them away again. The Lightweights rowed too short in the very strong headwind and got punished for it.
