Day 72 - Toughing it out

3 x 30' 4R tonight.

We are both really feeling the low calorie regime, and we were under no impression that tonight was going to be difficult.

Anita did all 3 intervals in 2:24/500m. It was a case of get on it, get through it and get home tonight for her, but I'm very proud of her for doing yet another 90 minutes worth of rowing.

I did a 1:59.5, 1:59 and 2:02. I'm finding a real lack of base power at the moment in my arms, so the spm goes up to compensate. The final interval started off very slow, down near 2:06 for the first 10 minutes, so from 20 to 15 left I did the 5 hard strokes, 10 light strokes repeated, with the hard strokes down at 1:35 which got the pace down to 2:03.5, then for the last 10 minutes I did 30" hard (1:45) 1' slow repeated, and ended up at 2:02. I'm having to change things up to get through the pieces with my pride intact at the moment :)

Anita: 18756m
Andy: 22476m
Cumulative: 2467271m (1533.4 miles)

The Journey:
Start - Topnotch Gym, Colchester CO4 9ES,
