back

I am currently in a state of limbo as my club changes over from summer to winter training. No rowing has been availible since my return and since I am not in any racing crews, I may not get to row any more at all. However, circuit sessions start up soon (tuesday?) and I have been bike riding in the meantime - clocking up a pb that I then forgot on my shorter bike ride course.

In other news, I recently discovered what might just be the best inspirational pre-race movie. It is a movice of success in the face of sporting adversity with a street-wise undertone that appeals to my rough urban upbringing. I present to you the trailer:

I personally commit as captain to providing a DVD copy of this film for the Fairbairns M1 crew to watch pre race, since we all know the difference quality cinema the likes of 'Any Given Sunday' can have on race performance. If that is not incentive to train i don't know what is; I am gonna train so fuckin hard to get a place in said M1 crew.

That looks awful. I suggest making that film a punishment for not doing ergs.

As for cycling I did 18.5 miles in an hours ride I did the other night. Additionally my back hurts from doing 5 sets of 5 60kg power cleans last night.
