Day 39 - A little test for Sunday :)

A repeat of Tuesday today - 4 lots of 15 mins, 6'/9' split, 2:15/2:25 for Anita, 1:52/2:01 for Me, 4R.

Much of a muchness tonight for the first 3 intervals; Anita wasn't feeling particularly well but she stuck to the task brilliantly.

Then the 4th Interval - I think we both thought he same thing - use it as a bit of a tester for the 6344m Concept2.co.uk Challenge Series November piece.

Anita ended up with a 2:14 average for the 15 mins, First 6 minutes near 2:12, down to 2:25-2:20 for the next 5, then racked it down towards 2:10 over the last 4 minutes, into the 1:57 region for the last 30 secs - Again she is showing how strong she is now, and at 5"9' she is blessed with long levers leading to a lovely technique.

I ended up with a 1:50.7 average, and like Anita did the 2nd furthest distance ever in a 15 minute piece I've ever done, but with some large pace changes.

For the first 6 minutes I was alternating 1:47 minutes with 1:52 minutes, went down to 2:00 for 3 minutes, then from 5 minutes out went down to 1:47, towards 1:45 with 2 minutes left, then into the low 1:30's for the last minute - 4062m in 15 mins for me, 3358m for Anita :) I think we're both ready for the Challenge Series now - If we can do what we did during rowing minutes 45 to 60, then after a Warm Up she should be able to sustain a really good pace for the whole 23/28 minutes :)

Anita: 13110m
Andy: 15653m

Cumulative: 1215572m (755.5 miles)
