The guy in the photo above is taking a bit of a break from harder rowing. You would have to ask him whether it was a refreshing break. Most people’s idea of a refreshing break includes ingesting liquids instead of vice-versa. But … different strokes for different folks.
The break today wasn’t exactly the same as what is pictured above. It didn’t involve transferring anything from myself to a plastic-lined garbage can. Instead, I just rowed easy, which is what today’s training session called for.
As you can see from the photo above, it is labeled as being from a website that focuses on rowing the 2K distance, row2k.com. Actually, I found it on another rowing blog, which probably got it from row2k.com. The other rowing blog is churbuck.com and the page of the blog where the above photo was found is HERE.
The churbuck blog is about much more than indoor rowing and is much more authoritative than anything you will find that originates in my blog. So – if your appetite hasn’t been spoiled by the above image and you hunger and thirst for more authoritative, technical blog writing then check it out by spending some time there. It is one of many (probably hundreds) of other websites about and relating to both indoor and on-the-water rowing.
Don’t get the wrong impression from the guy grasping the waste can – most people DON’T have that reaction after rowing a competitive 2K! He may have been sick or he may have eaten something that a human should not have consumed…. Most people are merely winded, somewhat drained of energy and a bit overloaded with lactic acid after rowing a hard 2K.
Today’s rowing session was preceded by another strength-training pushups session, the results of which will be displayed after the rowing session images.
Today’s strength training results are on the line for Friday of Week 2:
Happy rowing to you.
