Today’s rowing session was not done to the letter of the scheduled training session, because I wanted to do a harder attempt at this month’s c2ctc.com event instead. But so as to keep the training session progress on schedule, I went through the motions and did the distance of the actual training session. So the training session distance served as a long, slow warmup for the c2ctc.com event.
One thing I actually DID try to do during the training session was to do the 200 meter intervals in the specified rating range of 33 – 36. The only way to do that without working hard was to limit the drive to about 1/2 to 3/4 of a normal drive and not pull the handle all the way to my body with each stroke.
Even though the training session itself wasn’t done “to the letter” of its details, all the rowing today added up to having fulfilled the spirit of the details, because the c2ctc event done today was done hard and fast, like I was supposed to have done the 4×200 intervals in the training session.
First, the details and results of the training session:
After doing the training session in such a restrained manner, I was fully rested for the c2ctc challenge. So – here are the results of the attempt at this month’s c2ctc.com challenge, which is a set of 10 x 1:30 r :30
Finally… there was a 1K warm down:
Happy rowing to you.
