Training this week

Tuesday

3x20 minutes in the rowing pool with 5-6 minutes of fitness exercises in between (not the maximum weight).

Thursday

Fitness training and 20 minutes in the rowing pool at the end.

Saturday morning

In total 30 minutes of ergs. We were also doing maximum speed and 500m. Maximum speed- 1:18 per 500m. 500m time was 1:31.

20 minutes in the rowing pool after this. This training was on the different station where they have some metal things at the end of the blades, which make them heavier, so it is extremely difficult to row. Good stuff for practising getting the blade out of the water quickly. Should also count as fitness training as after the session my arms and shoulders were dead:)

Saturday afternoon

Outing in 8. Around 12k in total. Fantastic outing, most of the guys in the boat have been doing rowing for 5-9 years. Two of them are the champions of Ukraine (they are rowing in pair usually) and one of them was participating in the world championship (don't know in which team).

Sunday

Outing in 2s. Fitness training after that. Outing was not very long as I am still getting used to rowing with two blades :) Although my coach told me that as for the first time my progress is good.

I will be rowing in 2s for the rest of the holiday. Next week I am planning to have outings on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Don't know yet how many sessions we will have on the weekend. Minimum-1, maximum-4, so in total I will have 5-8 sessions :)
