Richard, how can you blame your technique issues on King's? We had very little coaching all year and the one guy who did coach us used to swear at you for not doing what he said...
Anyway, I've had a pretty good week. I didn't stroke a boat down 1 in a set of Bumps for the second time this year (commiserations Chris by the way), and my training has been quite useful:
22/7 - 3x7k (2'r). 1:59.7 (@17), 1:59.8 (@18), 1:59.7 (@18).
23/7 - 4x6k @18 (2'r). 2:01.8, 2:01.8, 2:01.7, 2:01.4.
24/7 - 15k @18. 1:58.9.
25/7 - 4x6k @18 (2'r). 2:01.8, 2:01.9, 2:01.7, 2:01.7.
26/7 - Cycled to tennis; 15k @18, 1:58.7.
28/7 - 30' @20 test. 8,010m (1:52.3).
That last erg was 7m off my (rate 20) PB I set in April, shortly before pulling 6:45 in the erg test. So I'm pretty pleased with that as it shows my power and base fitness is pretty good.
Incidentally, my reasons for posting on the blog are to give you all some idea of the kind of off-season training I am doing. Basically, I am doing alternating days of tougher, shorter ergs and longer, easier ones. As for weights, I ought to bring those in at some point, but will probably wait until I drop under 11 stone (was 11.1 this morning). At the moment I am training presuming that I want to get in a top Lancaster crew for Henley next year, and possibly to do something lightweight in the summer regattas.
